    Will a S tank fit a L bike?

    Quick question, will a 1980 450S model tank and side covers fit a 1981 450L model bike?
    Sorry for not searching around, I just have a chance to get these and would like to know as soon as possible.
    Thanks, willman

    You'll have to do some frame modifications, changing the mounting ears and possibly the bolt mounting area. I don't know if the triple tree will have to be changed as well, but on my bike I had to change it to allow my bars to go lock to lock. I've got an 850L, and so to change the tanks I used parts from my 850G parts bike. I do have a thread on the process, not completely documented, but well enough to see what I did. Click on my user name and threads started by me and you should be able to find it.
    Good luck! Oh, I put a GS650 (not L) tank on mine.
