    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.

Fuel tank bad

Can’t really find a clear answer the fuel tank on my 79 gs1000 I’ve been told can’t be repaired due to all the rust. I found a tank off a 1980 gs750L that looks the same but I was just wondering if it’ll bolt on and any issues with the petcock location ?
 
Issues? Probalbly, The 79 had VM carbs, the 80 had CV carbs/ different carb-to-head rubber boot set up. The L tanks were on the smallish side. Someone may know for sure.
 
It may fit The petcock is mounted further back on the tank to clear the CV carbs, so you'd need a longer fuel line. Plus 80 tanks have the dreaded leverless petcock.

An 80-81 1100E tank would be a better choice
 
Seems like I’m gonna have a hard time finding a replacement . On the lever less petcock couldn’t I just switch it to a different petcock? I’m just curious I don’t know much about bikes. Also this thing is a full blown turd at the moment definitely a project so I don’t mind running longer lines and such
