    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.

Tips on finding replacement gas tank? '81 GS850G

I have a 1981 GS850G that I'm trying to give some TLC. I have some minor dents in the tank from when I purchased the bike, and am wondering where I should go from here now that I have some more money to spend on the bike. I know that the tank is safe, it's been to the shop and had a complete safety inspection just this month. I'm unsure as to whether I should leave the tank as is (it's a bit of an eyesore), or find a new one for it. If I get a new tank I could work on restoring the old one and getting those dents out of it (maybe some new paint too?) although I have no tools for any of that.

Has anyone purchased a gas tank for their GS850G? I'm nervous about buying a tank and having it not fit on the bike.

My bike is at the shop getting a tune-up right now, otherwise I'd post a picture of the tank to give you guys an idea on what the dents look like.
 
I have an '81 850G tank I could sell. It's in primer, straight enough, clean enough inside.
