    What can I do to make my gas tank prettier?

    When I bought the bike (GS400), the gas tank was missing the top lockable piece, so what's left is some holes, rust, and leftover bondo. I don't plan on repainting the tank any time soon, maybe just putting some touchup paint on the the scratches/bondo, but what can I do about the missing locking piece?

    It kinda looks terrible without it. I was thinking of making something out of aluminum to go over top but I don't really know.




    Edit: Having the proper cover would be preferable, but would there be any way to match it to my ignition key?

    If you get the proper cover with a lock, take it to a locksmith and they can probably match it for you.

      Ebay is your friend, it might be the same part no. as a 550 or 750, that would help if it is.

            sent you a pm. It has the lock and it's free. I'll send you some pics when I get home from work.
