    Gas tank question regarding fitment help please!

    Hey guys I have a question

    What other year gas tanks fit on the 1983 GS750E?

    I'm starting a cafe racer project with this as my base and I don't really know what tanks I can swap this current one with

    There's no mix and match database if that's what you're looking for. And it's possible that there's no other tank that fits perfectly. All of the tank swaps I've seen here have required some kind modding to the frame mounts.

      Do you have any 83 750e parts for sale? I agree with MechMessiah. It's going to take work to make another tank fit.

            This forum has a search feature. Just look for tank swaps/switch.

                    Hey welcome to the forum. I am pretty sure that there are other models you can swayp tanks with. I just swapped a gs550 tank for a 650. You can also go to the parts section of the forum. There are a lot of guys out there selling parts. The guy I bought mine from was Tom Witttom. He is a great guy to do business with and he will give you a great deal on parts.

                      Thanks Ace i'm hoping that's the case
                      i'm going get a custom seat and chop the rear but before I do that I have to make sure the gas tank fits the aesthetic i'm going for so i'm trying to get a list of options together so I can choose from there

                      I'm sure that I'm going to have to do some sort of fabrication for the gas tank to fit properly but if there was a bolt on option that would be amazing!

                        I can see you are extremely concerned more by looks but please tell us you have made your the engine is running properly and you have done all required maintenance before you started destroying such a nice motorcycle?

                          Thanks for asking the bike is running and this bike is one of previous owner's commuter bikes.

                          I am actually picking up the bike tomorrow.

                          I can see that you are extremely concerned that I might not have thought to check how the bike was operating before I begin to make asthetic mods to it, but I can assure you that I'm not a moron that goes and makes something beautiful on the outside and not on in inside.

                          My goal is to build a beautiful machine from the ground up that is mechanically sound that looks amazing and that's fun to ride.

                          I want to make something that is truly mines something I will always be proud of.

                          again thanks for checking
