I've got the 'my bike is flawless except for the million pinhole rust holes in my gas tank blues'.
I think the song title says it all.
Is there a crossover list for what other tanks might fit ('78 GS1000E), so I can replace it instead of recreating my tank completely out of JB Weld (it's getting to that point). I currently am using a Mtn Dew bottle with a 5/16th hole drilled in the cap, with a 3/8 hose running out of it (with a rubber seal on the backside of the cap to keep it from leaking out) for a gas vessel (also allows me to keep the gas about 3 feet away from any potential fire after the last flaming bike incident). This is to get the bike to a running state, but this is officially 'ghetto as hell', and I would like to have an actual gas tank.
There is a motorcycle junkyard (Rockdale Cycles) not too far from my house, that has hundreds of junk bikes they are parting out, and if I can find out which models interchange, then maybe I can pick up a gas tank in better shape (that doesn't leak gas).
