Mike,
Maybe I'm slow-but I still don't get it!
1) I don't want to change the front end on a V-7 to Ambassador
components.
2) I don't want to fit the smaller V-7 tank (already have that).
I would like to fit the bigger tank from an Ambassador/Eldorado to a
V-7. Will it work?

Allow me to jump in here Dave(and probably messit up again)...
The V700 front end is more upright(shorter wheelbase)...putting a later
front end will cause the top tree to hit the V700 tank as it sits futher up
on the frame...

You say you disagree with Mike's post, which stated that a big tank won't fit a V-7 frame without a change of tripple clamps. Yet I believe your post says a big tank fit your bike (Flame) that had the later triple clamps. Doesn't that agree with Mike? Maybe I wasn't clear-I would like to fit a big tank on a V-7 frame. your response leaves me confused. I would like to know more about how the change of tripple clamps allows fitment of the bigger tank. Does the later clamp place the stancions farther forward, giving clearance between the fork tubes & tank at full lock? Is that where the intertference is? Does this increase the wheelbase and/or affect trail? Dave's previous message: I dissagree, Flame was a V700 frame with an Ambo front end, I could not use the little tank, unless I put a V700 front end on it, I could however use a large Ambo/Eldo tank no problem. There are pictures of the different tripple trees on the website.
