    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.

Tank Swapability

Anybody know if a tank from an '80 1000GL, '81 1000GL, or '82 1100GL will fit an '83 1100GL? The parts numbers are different on the fiche. Swapability might not actually be a word.
 
I got a tank from a 1982 GS1100 on my 1981 GS1000GL, and it fits perfectly, pic's below.

Thanks, I had a feeling some of these were interchangeable even though the part numbers were different. Was the tank you used from a GL?
 
I think any of the GL tanks might fit. Diablo's tank appears to be a G tank, but they changed the mounts in '82, so that might work, too.

Previous to '82, they used a single horizontal mounting bolt at the back. In '82 they changed to two vertical bolts, like the "L" models.

Note that the back of the tank is likely at a different angle, so the seat might interfere with it differently.

Thanks Steve. I hadn't realized an '82 G tank might be an option. I see now Diablo's tank has the indentations for the knee area unlike a GL tank. I've got something in the works for a GL tank now for about $75 (Still need shipping charges). I don't really want to try to wrestle the failed Kreme job out of my tank before resealing unless that is the only option.
 
Hope it works for ya, keep us posted with updates and pics, and I will try my best with my lil info i got :D
