    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hey you guys I'm new to the forum so excuse me!
I bought a used gs1000 that sat in a garage for about 6 years with gas in it (didn't know at first) well tore it all down bike runs great new chain brakes everything was great... Then the tank it went south very quickly. Pin holes large holes you know weld leaks. Needless to say I need a new tank. Paint is wrecked from the leaks. Was wondering if anyone has something i can purchase. Exhausted all of my local resources.

80-82 Euro spec tanks are readily available and don't have the issues with rot in my experience ( negligible ethanol content) - look like this

as you can see I have a few options - the tank in the foreground to the right is a pristine 1000C ..... I stress NON of mine are for sale - just giving you the options

Hmmm I haven't hardly seen much on ebay what I have seen doesn't have the same mount positions as mine. It really stinks my tank was prestine but the dang ethonal kills them. So what exact years and models will fit ??Tha KS for the help.
 
The rust comes from sitting for years, and probably with a half tank of gasoline in them. Most people couldn't care less about taking care of these old beasts.
 
I have an '80 GS1000 tank on mine. I bought it new when I got my bike. Same attachments and shape but a different petcock.
