Wondering if anyone has been successful in modifying a 1980 GS550L tank to hold more fuel?

A 650 L tank might fit.
Don't know if it's much bigger.
Life is too short to ride an L. -
My son's '82 650L tank is about 3.5 gallons. How big is your tank now, and how big do you want to go?
Swapping a tank to one from an E model will require changing the forks and triples to get enough clearance when the forks are turned.

The tank is standard which according to specs is about 3.4 gallon so it seems that switching to a 650L would not be a huge difference.
I really did not have a specific capacity in mind.
I have a spare tank with a dent in it and wondered how difficult it would be to cut and weld it to increase capacity.1980 GS550LComment
