81 GS250T Fuel Tank Compatibility
My tank was damaged yesterday pretty good, and due to my ever increasing limited funds, I think it may be cheaper to replace it with a used one. I have been looking around online and all the way up to a 1000 they look the same. Does anyone know what models are a direct swap? It is pretty hard to find any specific 250 parts. I want to get this bike back together soon as it is starting to warm up.

I'm not sure if any other model would be a direct swap. A 450 tank may fit. How many mounting holes are there at the rear of the tank? Could you post a pic and maybe take some measurements. That would help.

One mounting hole at the rear of the tank, fits into two rubber bushings at the top.
I will take pics and measurements later today when I have access to a camera.
That bike is identical to mine, same color and all. Just typing various bikes into google images, the tanks look the same 1000 down. I seen some pics of a 1000 for sale from all sides, and all of the mounts look the same as well.
I am guessing that for manufacturing purposes, at least all of the v twin frames would be the same which should also mean that all parts that bolt to the frames (such as the tank) would be swappable.
