[prxbadger]

hi, does anyone know if a gs850l tanks will fit straight onto a gs450l frame and similarly with the seat?

thanks i just wanna beef up the appearance, its a bit narrow for my liking

When I get home I can get some measurements for you. Tune in later this evening. 8-[

another option...

if not, i dunno if you'd be interested in the 450T tank. it's not as tall, a little more squatty (dunno how wide it is vs. the 450L model though).
i have a fairly decent one off my bike that i will be
replaced by the GT/waterbuff tank i got for it once i relocate the coils.

pic:




hardly any rust inside (just a tiny bit of surface stuff) and only a few nicks/dings (2 or 3) and one or two chips in the paint.
its the original black paint w/ gold stripping. has one badge.

let me know if you're interested cus i won't be needing it as soon as i get the GT tank on.

anything "fits"...just may take some "creative engineering"

i'm fitting a GT tank onto my GS450T cus i like the boxier cafe style tank.
gonna take grinding off the coil mounts on the top tube and relocating them to where the airbox was but IMO its worth it to get my final look.

if it pleases your eye its always worth it, no direspect to the original designers of course but with so many models i dont think even they were truly happy lol:-D
