Can anybody help to identify the gas tank on this FT500? http://streetfocus.fr/rgk-honda-ft500/
I've been searching for a while, it looks like it might be a cb350 main difference I see is that the filler hole is center on the 350 and on the right in the above FT500.

I've seen a picture of that bike before. I don't know what tank that is. You might want to open a Facebook account, if you don't already have one, and send them a message requesting information on that Ascot: https://www.facebook.com/rivegauchekustoms
The early Yamaha TT500 or XT500 (can't recall now) has a real nice shaped tank. Fortunately the FT Ascot has a narrow frame channel under the tank, so there are many options out there. I saw a custom Ascot with a CB350 tank on it & that looked nice.
Good luck

Tough to tell. My first thought was around a 1972 Honda CB after they went to that more streamlined tank but the cap doesn't match up. I'm curious to know now. Let us know if you find out.

There are some "classic" styled tanks on page #19 of this PDF: http://www.emgo.com/images/pdf/2013_Classic.pdf
It doesn't list prices, but it does provide a Part # that you can search on eBay with.

Is it a CL350?

Not sure, that tank looks nice though.
I found one on Ebay that seems to fit the bill. Closest I've seen: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Honda-CB350-CB-350-T-Twin-H867-gas-fuel-petrol-tank-cell-/231296421730?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35da574f62&vxp=mtr
Seems to be a CB350T tank...
