    Tank options gs1000

    I'm in need of a tank for my 79 gs1000. I have one but it has a scary amount of rust on/in it. Apparently these are the holy grail of gas tanks. One recently sold for over $1,000 on ebay. Seems a little ridiculous as you can find complete bikes for that price. What I'm wondering is if you can fit any other tanks on these bikes. Will a gs750 or gs850 fit on the gs1000 without any modification? Has anyone had any luck or went in another direction for the tanks on these bikes?

      The 1980 tanks have the petcock mounted much further back towards the seat and will clear the '78-'79 1000 stock carbs.
      I believe that SaltyMonk can offer a picture of such tank mounted on his Baja GS1000.

        Why not just clean out your tank?

          It's got a hole that rotted out about the size of a quarter and I'm afraid that there may be more to come as I keep sanding.
