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 750/1100E tanks will work but not that 1981 tank because the petcock will land squarely on top of the carbs.1980 /81 GS1100E tank will work.

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.Comment

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.Comment
