    The '78 and '79 are the same fit for sure.
    And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
    Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

      Are you missing the tank or is yours in need of repairs?

          The "78" GS 1000 tanks are different, as far as looks. The GS 1000 standard (spoked wheek models), "E", & "S" models "78" thru "80" will fit. The "78" models have an apprx. 3/4" indention down the side of the tank, for the stripe to be recessed. the later models are smooth sided. I think the petcock was moved slightly foreward on the models with CV carbs, but that shouldn't be a problem.
