    850 tank?

    i have a 82 gs550l and I can pick up a 81 gs850g tank for pretty cheap.
    i want to keep my fuel gauge and the 850 tank has a place for a sending unit but doesnt come with it. will my 550 sending unit work on the 850 tank?

    That tank probably wont even fit your bike man. You'd better check the measurements first, or its gonna be a waste of money.

        If its a "G" tank, and not the GL tank, its BIG. In fact, its the larges capacity Suzuki put on the GS series at 5.8 Gallons. Its also pretty long, and will likely, very likely, NOT fit on a 550L. AND depending on the year of the tank (pre 82 or post) the mounting bolts wont even be in the same place (79-81 850 had one horizontal bolt, 82 and on had two vertical bolts in back)

        OK now I see the pic, that thing is a monster. I dunno off the top of my head, but it would probably stop somewhere in the middle of your SEAT

          well I would like to get a bigger tank, mine doesnt seem to hold that much.
          I might buy it just because its so cheap and in good condition.

          I'm not a big fan of the king queen seat i have now
