    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.

Gas tank

I have to replace my 1980 GS 750's gas tank. Does anyone know if the gas tank is specific to the GS750, and that perticular year? Or, can i swap one out from another year or model GS, a 1979 GS 550 for example?
 
Best of luck with the search.

What is the issue with your old tank? Rust inside? Rust outside? Holes? Dents? Theft? Lent? Little green men who stay up far too late partying?

You may be able to repair. All depends though, right?
 
Not sure just bought it. Didn't get much info about it how do you tell the difference
 
Rust holes and a horrible bondo job done probably by drunk little green men... The same jerks who dropped this beauty to begin with
 
Best way for us to help with the model is to post a pic of the whole bike and then there should be instant recognition by a large majority of members. A couple of different views in good lighting.

Your bike

Your bike

You have an 'E' with 'L' style handlebars, not exactly 'L' maybe. The '80 GS 1100E tank is probably the same, on-line parts diagrams show them both having the same bolts, spacers and grommets, and identical gas caps, but if frame dimensions aren't identical, then no go, somebody on here must know. Good luck.
