    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...

  • This forum is to be used by folks who sell parts or services for GS series motorcycles regularly, or as a business.

    If you are interested in providing parts and/or service to GSResource members it is expected that you will 1) keep customers informed on the status of their order, 2) you will reply to customer emails and PM's in a timely manner, 3) you provide what is agreed to in a timely manner. If personal circumstances prevent you from doing this, then you are expected to inform the customer before any transaction takes place. Failure to follow these basic business rules will force me to ban your forum account and list you in the Deadbeat forum.

  • 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.

Looking for a GS1000s 1979 fuel tank

Rocking horse droppings I'm afraid... Haven't seen one come up here for a long time!
 
And if you do find a tank - check out the the fuel tap mounting point - the SN tank has holes something like 44mm apart for fuel tap with lever, the ST tank has the holes 50 mm apart for the vacuum tap and in a different location.
Mounting the ST tank with SN fuel tap is possible but awkward - the fuel tap holes can be ovalled, but the fuel tap will be out of normal position and the lever will hit the air filter box in the down position.
 
The 1980 tanks fit either bike. The smaller petcock on the '80 easily clears the VM carbs on the '79.

Same goes for the "E" tanks of those two years, which you are more likely to find.
