    Gas Tank replacement GS 850

    The gas tank on my project has severe - impossible to repair without cutting and welding - dents.

    What fuel tanks will fit to replace it?

    Do I have to find an 850 tank or will a 750 or other models also fit?

    Thanks

    That depends on what year and model 850 you have.

        Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

            I have a 1980 850G tank in gray primer, very decent shape if you can wait a few weeks.

              I can wait. Bike won't be on the road this year. It was trashed by the PO and is coming apart piece by piece.

              How much are you asking for this tank?

              I have a US Kinek address.

                    I posted this on a thread earlier, but here it is again.
                    '80-81 850G-1000G-1100G use the same tank.
                    The '77-79 750 tank also fits though it has a lower profile and less capacity.
                    '77 750E tank on an '80 850G

                        Whoops, tell the other guy that there is a red 850 tank on eBay then.
