    Tank compatability

    i want to put a sportier tank on my 1983 450L, and i was wondering if any other tank would fit on it, or would i have to fab my own?

    All the GS tanks attach in a similar way (hooks in front, bolts in back) But there are many different widths, heights, and lengths depending on the model they came on. There were also some models with 2 bolts in back and some with one bolt in back. If you are not afraid of the welder, you could hack off the rear mount and fab a new one in the right place with the right holes. This also might mess up the seat/tank relationship. The easiest thing to do is go to a junkyard and start pulling tanks off other bikes till you find one that looks right on yours. Then figure out how to mount it.
