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.

After a crap load of page searching about tanks...

Im still short a couple measurements for a tanks swap. I have a 1983 GS650GLD with that nice tiny tank. Now I understand that at 50ish MPG is good, more range would be better. From a few hours (no really, hours) of looking through threads about tank swaps, sizes and other such mind gooing stuff. I found that the GS 1100s share a few measurements with my 650. I have the out to out measurement of the front tank rubbers (3 15/16") and the center of the front rubbers to the center of the rear dual bolt mounts (22 1/2) and that the rear bolts are (4 7/8") Now the last is a little wider but with rubber spacer under between the tank and frame, a mount for that could be made easy peezy. What I dont have, besides the tank, are these. I need to know the width of the tunnel for a gs 1100. Any year and model, as long as these other measurements fit. And total length of the tank. I will most likey be having the seat redone but if the tank is entirely too long than Ill have to adjust for that. Thanks
 
No one has this info? Ok lets bump just incase the person that does missed the thread.


Oh and thanks to the one that does,

Couldn't leave you hang but other than the width of the tunnel, should there be concern of the trees being high enough to clear the top of the tank? How about depth of the tunnel? I don't have the measurements but SOMEONE HERE SHOULD CHIME IN as I know there are a few 1100 tanks on the bench in other projects. :cool:

The top tree sit kinda high and forward on the 650. Im thinking it shouldnt be a problem. But if it is, I have a plasma and tig to fix that. Plus Im running Daytona style bars, so the bars shouldnt be in the way either.

Sorry, I've not had time to get to the garage and pull my tank. It's a GS1100GK. Not sure if the tanks are the same as on the one you want?

If you think my measurements will be the same, I can try to get down tonight after I get back- probably around midnight or so.

You need the length, width, and height of the tube in the bottom side of the tank, right?

When you get a chance is perfect. Yeah Im looking for the width of the tunnel and its depth and then the overall length to make sure its gonna fit with my seat in place. Thanks
