    One season replacement tank while I paint my original? 1982 GS850G

    I'd like to paint my tank this summer, and I know it can mean a couple weeks of not riding. Can anyone suggest another tank that would fit easily? Or with novice-level modification? I'd love to still be able to ride while going through the painting process.

    I have a 1982 GS850G.

    The same tank was used on the 82-84 GS1100g&gk. I have a decal kit for the gold and black color scheme of 1982. Let me know if your interested.

      The '83 850G and '82-'84 1100G and 1100GK would all fit with NO modifications.
