Gas tank, 1982 GS650G, can't find! Argh!

Howdy!

In the process of trying to restore my 1982 GS650 G, I'm having a devil of a time trying to find a gas tank. Are there any other gas tanks (that might be EASIER to find!) that are compatible? I have a little bit of welding skill as well, so if there's one that fits on the length of frame, I could weld on new flanges for the tank.

I've looked on ebay for a new/used tank, and I can't find one there either!

Help me restore my baby, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!

If you need a gas tank, let me know. I'm debating about parting out my 650, since it need some major work.

Let me know where you live, etc, and I might be able to make you an offer you can't refuse for a bike full of parts. LOL

I want the carb boots.

hang in there

They do turn up on eBay from time to time, hang in there.

A couple of months ago was looking at a nice rust-free one for a 650G that cost $30. Didn't buy it once we determined it would not fit the GL model and vice versa.

Yeah, keep browsing ebay...it took me 2 months to find a suitable one for my 1000. Patience will win the day.

Dude, I live in Durham, and if you have a compatible gas tank, you let me know. Dibs also on body panels & mirrors! Thanks!
