    The '80/'81 850G tank is the same, as well as the '80/'81 1000G.

        See post #2.

        Those are "direct fit, look just like it", but there might be others that can be made to work.

          82-83 850/1100G have two horizontal tabs at the back and won't fit.

          79-81 850/1000G have the single vertical mounting tab and will fit.

          GL tanks won't fit either.
