Good looking tank for 79 GS750?

So currently got some sort of aftermarket tank on her but no fuel gauge sensor on the tank. So got a fuel gauge off EBay and am going to fit a different tank and hopefully the wiring will be a simple thing once Ive snipped off the big plastic connector blocks. Anyone know of any other model tanks with fuel sensor that I can pop on with minimum effort? The bigger the better for me to give her some presence. (The current tank has 1 bolt at the base holding it on but sure a simple homemader bracket could over come any problems)

Any ideas? :-\\\
 
I wouldn't know. I'm always too scared to look at the gauges when I ride one.

True. Couple that with the odd sensation of having your hands inside your armpits and they make for an exquisitly painful ride :p

But if I'm not mistaken, and lord knows that's a rarity, the 79 750L was a 1000L with a 750 motor. And im pretty sure the 1000 had a fuel gauge by that point. Ugly as sin, but whatareya gonna do?
 
As the owner of a 1981 GS 750L, I can say:

They have a fuel gauge.
 
The 1979 750L model has a fuel gauge and a sending unit in the tank. Yes this is the 8 valve model. ;)
 
I got a fuel gauge off EBay... it didn't come with the bike. Blimey come on people lol. Now I just need a tank with a fuel sensor that will fit to the bike so I can wire up this fEBay fuel gauge. Any ideas? :-\\\

Seriuosly!! How can you see any details on the front rotors in that one picture of his bike???? Is "never mind" your standard cop out when your asked to explain what you mean? Heck..you can just see the leading edge of the rotor for god sakes!!!! Never mind..
 
My '79 750L had a fuel gauge and axle in front of the fork legs. It has less offset in the triple clamps than my '78 which has the axle on line with the fork legs.

Your tank, side covers, and seat, look like what my '78 E model had. Here's the '79 L before she got cut up. Far as I know only the handle bars are different than stock in this photo(besides the rusty mounting tab and cork gas cap covered in plastic from the PO).
