    1979 Suzuki GS 750 Tank is not as described. Help Identify?

    So I bough this tank off of eBay and it was described as a 1979 Suzuki GS 750 Tank (Supposed to fit 77-81). Well, it didn't fit my 79 GS 750E. Now I am trying to find a way to identify what it actually fits on. If anyone can help identify it, I'd really appreciate it. I have some pics and measurements for it that I've attached.

    It looks like a 1977 GS750 tank. It should fit unless it is a GS550 tank?

          There is no shortage of images of 550s with the same paint scheme. Did any of the 550s have the fuel door over the cap like the OP's tank?

          EDIT- Ok. I looked and found images of red 550s with the fuel door

            From the ghost in the machine via email:

            "The 550 tanks look almost identical to the 750 tanks but are about 2-3" shorter due to the smaller engine cradle in the 550 frames. Yes, I have a 550 tank also."
