    79 Fuel tank

    I am in need of a tank for my 1979 GS1000L. I am unable to locate one anywhere close to me. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what other tank would fit, or was close to fitting with little mod.

    Thanks in advance

        If you could check the tank valley it would be greatly appreciated.

        The measurements that I got were:

        Front studs are 3 inches apart

        Front studs to bolt hole is 15 inches.

        and at the rear the frame is 6 and 1/4 inches wide

          Without mods you'll have to get an"L" tank for a '79 or'80 750-1000 L model. Otherwise you'll have some welding on the frame to do.
