    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok guys, here is the deal, 1st off I am so green I thought I saw Shrek this morning but then I realized I was lookin into a mirror.
I just got a 78 1000 without a tank. I've been searching & reading on here on how to solve my problem. Apparently there are only a few tanks that I can get to go on my bike, early 80s 750/1100 or a 78/79 1000... But am I correct in understanding that the easiest to find (the early 80s tanks) will require some petcock mods, or maybe even carb mods????
I'd like to get this bike up and running ASAP but my pockets are not very deep. I'm not a purest so any tank will do for now.

Someone please tell me what to do...
 
Edit: Just deleted my response because you have THREE threads on the same topic. Please delete two of them and consolidate to ONE thread.

So that's an 80s tank? I thought only the 78s had indents on the sides??? I think I'm getting more confused by the min.
 
Nessism-
Thanks for that pic.
I saved it to my phone, hoping to hit a used bike shop on Tuesday after work. That will help!
