741
I measure 21.5"
Attached are a couple of pictures (hopefully) One of my 741 frame the other is from ebay where repo tanks were being sold.

I had considered trying to fabricate a frame but it was "too big a lift for me". Also considered using a British frame as Jim Mosher did

Excellent , thank you Sir

Mosher has some rockets which is probably why he used Brit frames.

I recently acquired a 741 right side oil/gas tank went to do mockup with my frame and tank would not fit. Closer inspection my frame had been crashed and repaired so my measurement rear tank mount to top front tank mount likely off. Sincere apologizes for any problems caused.

LOTS of these frames have been damaged. Your one at least looks good even if it is off. maybe that's why they sold it after they "fixed" it.

My one is still in 2 pieces. I just haven't had the time to get to it. cheers
