81gsx1100exfuelgaugesender24litretank

[motorcycletherapy]

hello , i am wanting to source a fuel gauge sender unit and fuel drain plate for the above bike . where in the world should i start looking ???

or if i cant find one i want to just blank off the opening where the sender would be fitted .( the petcock has a reserve unlike the 19 litre tank .

i am guessing that many fuel gauge sender units will be the same so far as the five screws spacings that hold / seal the unit in the side of the tank , and many gs/gsx models will have the same unit so far mounting in the side of the tank ???

also can someone tell me how the electrical side of the sender unit works , will a sender unit from another gs/gsx model be accurate or do i need the specific 24 litre tank sender unit for the fuel gauge to indicate accurately ?

ps i am having the 24 litre tank and the 19 litre tank painted the same white as my 08 xjr1300 .... with green coloured graphics supplied by John at www.sunrisegraphics.co.uk .

for me the gsx1100et and ex engines are the best looking motorcycle engines i have ever seen and the gsx 24 litre tank is the best looking motorcycle tank i have ever seen !!!

even before i have the gsx paint/graphics the way i want them the gsx and 81 gs1000g ( blue ) look magnificent parked beside each other in my motorcycle garage which is now full with seven motorcycles .

i now feel my life is complete and i can die with a smile of satisfaction on my face . i have wanted a 1980/1981 gsx1100 for about 25 years ever since i found out the engine was strong and durable , that is why i bought the gs new in 81 , because the gs engine was proven but i was not sure about the gsx reputation . sorry for the ramblings !

thanks for your help and the wonderful website resource .

regards from mark .

I'd start online by checking to see if any of your dealers there have a parts fiche that shows the big tank and what the part number for it is.

That's a version we didn't get here in the states

If the numbers match, check the Parts For Sale forum
