Hi It's a gs1000E frame and I'm trying to find a tank to fit but there doesn't seem to be a lot of gs1000 tanks around at the moment but there are a couple of 750 ones. Thanks Wayne
OK, the 1980 750/1100 tank should be easier to find, we put one on a 1980 GS100E, it fit fine. The earlier 1000E tanks fit the same as well, so the 750/1100 tank will work on any of them.
Do you have welding torches? I have a mostly straight 1978 1000E skunk tank to sell, but it has a lot of rust pinholes that would need to be brazed.

Hi thanks for the advice, I'd be interested in you tank except I'm in the UK so postage would be prohibitive. Thanks Wayne

A UK GS750 tank won't fit without serious mods. However a GSX750 / GSX1100 UK spec tank will fit. I've got a pretty nice (no dents, paint 'not bad') Heron colours GS1000 tank spare - if you're interested drop me a pm (cost me ?100 - yours for the same).
