    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.

I have a 1982 GS1100G. Will the tank for the 850 G and or 1100 and 850 L fit?

Will the tank from a GS550 E of the same era fit on a 700e?
 
the tank for a 82/83 1100G and a GK are a dirrect interchange.

the PN# for the 850G is differant but that don't indicate that it won't fit, you just have to measure.
 
How about the GL, I understand it is a larger tank but I also think there was somebody at the NC ride with an L tank on a G, but I am not sure and I sure don't know who.
 
GL is a smaller tank... 82 was first year for the two bolt rear tank hold down

do you think the 82 gl and g tanks are inter-changable and waht about the 850's
 
This is nothing more than a shameless and self serving bump
 
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the L thank will fit. I think the rear tank mount structure is different. I've got an 82 850G tank coming for my 82 1100G and if I have any trouble I'll let you know.
 
An 82 850G tank WILL NOT fit an 82 1100G tank.
I have the tears to prove it.
Stay tuned.
 
Tanks for the following models interchange. They may not be the same color, but they will definitely interchange:

-- 1982 GS850GZ
-- 1982 GS1100GZ
-- 1983 GS850GD
-- 1983 GS1100GZ
-- 1982 GS1100GKZ
-- 1983 GS1100GKD
-- 1984 GS1100GKE

Earlier model 850G and 1000G tanks will not interchange with these.

Any year GL tank will not either.
 
The best thing I can recomend is to get measurements of the mounting points and try to match the tanks that way. I've seen a few that look realy close, but the mounts were off just enough to cause a problem.
