Red face Bib dilemma

Hello,

I am new to riding, I got a 86 Honda Rebel 450. My dilemma is I am trying to locate a bib for my tank. I can find bibs for Rebel 250 all over the place.
Can anyone tell me, if the 250 tank and 450 tank are the same length and width. Will the 250 tank bib fit my 450?

I want one too.

Jack can tell you about the size differences, but the these mfg.'s should be able to get the specs for our bikes.

There are a couple of sites that do custom work:

Motorcycle Tank Bibs - Tank Bra

Norm's Custom- Tank Bibs

Leather Tank Bibs

10 oz latigo leather motorcycle tank bib

I think I'm gonna use the last one, I like the bib on that blue bike, the 'pocket and side lacing' one

250 and 450 tanks are close enough in size to use the same bib.

What about gas cap location?

Which one is bigger?

Thanks
