Tanks can be a pain in the backside to replace.

I have been looking for a year for a higher capacity swap for my 79 550L and haven't found a single hit.

Have you checked ebay?

i saw a 78 1000 tank on ebay a few days ago, go look!

The "78" GS 1000's have a one of a kind tank. The "79" & "80" GS 1000 chain drive models tanks will fit, (except "L" models) but they look slightly different. Other tanks may fit, but there is only one shape & style for the "78" GS 1000.

It's a 79 tank.

If you look on E-bay you'll find a red 79 tank. It's up to $45.00 and it has 3 days left. It looks a little on the drab side, but it doesn't have any big dents. If you are thinking of trying creem you could always get it to set up with one aplication. Just use a "cold"!!!!! air blower/ hair dryer to vent it out. I had 3/4 of the bottle in mine and it set up great. I don't know what creem is going to do for your dent though.

I agree w/earl I believe that the 750 tanks will fit also

[Anonymous]

Nope, fraid not.

750 and 1000 tanks are different sizes (1000 tank is longer).

[Don Lobacz]

The red one on Ebay is a 1000L tank.

Are the 850G and the 1000G the same tank? I've got an extra on just sitting here, it's a nice dent free one which has a little rust in it and a cheap paint job on it. I don't know if they will interchangr or not.
