    tank replacement

    Hey there, I want to replace the gas tank on my 83 gs650g cruizer. What other options are there other than stock? I'd like something curvier.

    My 650G had a 850L tank on it when I got it.

        No, I never rode it. It was too ugly.

          LOL too funny! I didn't like the way the sides were flat on the original tank so I added some contour after i took off the emblems. Then i sealed it (apparently not well enough). A pin hole leak sprung just as i was putting on the paint a few days ago (GRRRRR).

          I like the look of the maxim tanks and such but am willing to consider other ideas. I'll put pics up of what I've done in a little bit to give everyone an idea.
