    gs850 fuel tank

    Can anyone advise if a fuel tank from a 1981 gs 850 will fit on a 1979 gs850
    My 1979 has an irreparable crease in the fuel tank and I have found a tank from a 1981.

    Cheers.

    Except for the color, it is the same tank.

    That is, as long as the '81 tank is NOT from an 850L.

      Greetings and Salutations!!

      Hi Mr. Knotica,

      The GS1000G tanks will also fit. You'll find a parts cross-reference procedure on my little website along with a lot of GS850G lovin'. Let me greet you properly with my "mega-welcome".

      Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome".

        Thanks Steve and BassCliff for your replies.
        I'll be checking out the BikeCliff site as well and yes posting photos after Suzi is dolled up.
        Please be patient as by no means am I a mechanic and time is scarce but
        spring is coming up here in Canada and I'm getting the fever. So she'll be on the road soon.
        Be well, thx again and happy riding.
