Haha mine looked almost exactily like yours before today. I converted mine into a board track racer and if you find a triple sprung seat and do like 1 mod to the seat and the bike you ,an double the comfortability.
WOW! SWEET! Did you make the tank? I love how it fits over the top bar like a more modern motorcycle. EDIT: WOOF! Just noticed this thread is 2 1/2 years old. 
Scott, the owner of the bike and the Original Poster of this thread will still appreciate your comments even 2.5 years later. (that bike has undergone some beautiful changes since that photo was taken) That tank is from a Suzuki Junior. I have one like it that Scott gave me. It is a sweet little tank and looks like it was made to fit the Jaguar top tube.WOW! SWEET! Did you make the tank? I love how it fits over the top bar like a more modern motorcycle. EDIT: WOOF!

NEET! May I ask what year is that Suzuki. I Google image searched and got everything but things that looked like that.
Not sure but you could send a PM to skjjoe. He'd know, for sure. Tell him 2door (Tom) said hello.

Yez more info wud be awesom I found a strange tank at a garage sale and it looks like a indian gastank but its way to wide for my jaguars spine so your tank is probably 2nt best idea
that tank is from a 79 jr 50 i think Toms is a little older but they are all basically the same. Here is one 82 Suzuki JR50 JR 50 gas / fuel tank | eBay on ebay now. There are several others but this one looked ok. Tom will tell you these old tanks need some restoration before you can use them.His was way worse than mine.

oh and if you get one from ebay.. Try to get one with a petcock you cant get em from Suzuki ...no longer available....
If you're careful and know how to use a pipe tap, you can thread the petcock nipple on the tank internally to accept a standard 1/8"NPT petcock. The trick is to not thread too deep. Just enough to get the new petcock threaded in then let the tapered threads do the sealing. The original tanks used an externally threaded petcock and that's the part that's hard to come by. I used a stainless steel petcock from Grainger on mine. Works great.
