    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.

gs1000G tank

Not directly, but I seem to remember someone on here 'made' one fit. Might have been Salty Monk for his Mexico trip but don't quote me.
 
No, but I do believe a '80, '81 GS1100E will direct bolt on, and I "think" the same year model 750E will also.

.................hi guys,,, a few years ago i purchased of ebay.com usa ,,a 1980 gs1000 tank,,, it was a dark colour ,,and i think at the time the only 1 on there then ,,,so 10 days later it turns up nicely boxed ,,, and i go out in the backyard and open the box., and here is a fantastic gloss black with silver/gold flec and finished with clear it looked great ,,, so i go and drop it on my bike,,and the petcock tapped / fuel hole was in a different position ,,, it was directly over the top of the cv carbys.. ,,,so after alot of swearing i made a small plate and welding it on in the correct position for a 1980gs1000e ,,, it did work like a charm.. .,, but now i have a very nice 1981 gs1000s white/red tank no dints/rust ,, 1 tint scratch about 5mm long ,which i haven,t worried about regards oldgrumpy

Correct Steve.

My first GS was Suzy, my '78 1000C. My second bike was SuzyII, my '80/81 GS 1000G. I bought SuzyII for the tank, seat and body work, so I could change the look when I wanted to. Nothing swaps, the Gs frame rail and tank tunnel is narrower, and the seat hinges are in different places. The 81-82 750E which is the same tank as the 80-81 1100E tank, will bit perfectly on the '78-80 1000E.
I have one on my Cooley('80 1000S) as a temp. tank so it doesn't look so incomplete.
 
Can you post a picture of the 1000 with the 1100 tank on it?

Please
