Well I sold it to a guy, when he got it he said, "hey this is a 750 tank not an 1100 tank...

He may want to sell it now but its in Malyasia.

Dude, there were differences in other countries. This guy in Malaysia is probably correct, from his perspective. Here's a link that might help you out.

Didn't the 1100 have more fuel capacity?

Yes, the '81GS750E and '81GS1100E body work are ALL interchangeable. My brother runs the 'red' '81 GS750E bodywork on his '81GS1100E cause he likes the color and enjoys the '750' badges on the side covers...but he is kinda 'sick' (a long story)..LOL,LOL.

I was thinking the same thing and mentioned it to him.

In Asia, Europe, and Australia, your question would have been about GSX1100 and GSX750 tanks. Those are interchangeable in that they will fit on the other bike, but they are not identical in that the 1100 tank is larger and has a higher profile.

Do you know how much bigger it is by any chance ?

I don't know for sure, maybe a half gallon to gallon? Just guessing by the way it looks. I haven't found any specs on the GSX gas tank, although I know the '80-'81 GS and GSX 750s (and GS1100s) had 5 gallon tanks. Here's a pic of an '80 GSX1100 with the different type of tank:

By comparison, here's the '80 GSX750:

So how come we in North America always got the more conservative (boring) paint jobs?

 

[mriddle]

Thanks .. don't think I have ever seen (or noticed) that difference.

Our tank capacity is 19L. The bigger tank holds 24L.
