Is this Tank to Little -- Will It look Stupid

[Anonymous]

I think I found a tank that MAY fit my 79 ' GS1000L. It looks like a 80' GS850L has the same brackets and bolt hole as my tank. Measurements between the brackets seems to match the GS1000 tank.

The GS1000L tank is 4.5 gallons ...the GS850L is 3.5 Gallon. So my question.... My question might sound silly but.....Will this smaller tank look look studpid on the bigger bike? Is the 3.5 tank just to small for this bike. I don't have the 3.5 gal tank yet ...its out there on a used parts site and I haven't purchased yet. If any of you GS'rs are gonna comment ..its gots to happen pretty quick.
Thanks for your Opinion...in advance

Probably not.

Probably will look fine. As long as it fits that is.

My mate put an 850 tank on his GS1000 and it looked fine!

3.5 gallons sounds too little, as far as capacity goes. I have an 83 850GL, and it has 3.5 on run with 1.? on reserve. As far as looks, it will probably look okay, It may be a little shorter(height wise), or narrower. As long as it slips in place and bolts up properly, it will be fine.
