I don't know what tank will fit your bike, but I would start by taking some measurments. I know from trying a 1100g tank on my 650g that many tanks will mount up to the front rubber cushions but It's the rear mount and length that are challanging. You can make adaptor plates or weld on a new mount , but there is the seat to contend with. This is a 82 650g tank. 450e tanks are popular with cafe builders and it may be one reason your having a hard time finding one. I've found with e-bay if you wait long enough you can find most anything for the price and condition you want. I would check out smaller bike like 450l, 450t's or 550. I'm sure you want to get on the road but if you find one that will fir for the short term until you can find a proper 450e gem. I have an extra 450e seat and the trim that goes under the seat if you have the need. Good luck

thanks for the link, they actually had one for 200 with cap and 65 each for the side panels im missing, Im picking up a L model tank for 40 tomorrow, if it dont look close enough to right ill have to drop the cash on the E tank
If the tank is in realy good shape it would be a fair price. The covers seem on the high side, but if they are in great in might be ok. A good quality paint job costs a fair bit. My 2 cents.
