    1980 GS1000GL interchangeable frame & tank

    Hey guys!

    Looking at restoring my 1980 GS1000GL to something like stock. I've enjoyed tearing down and rebuilding bikes before. I don't really know if the full-on restoration thing will work for me, but I'd like to give it a shot.

    For starters, I'd like to replace the frame/tank. Frame was butchered by the previous owner to install a larger tank. What I'd like to know is, what make/year frame/tank are identical to stock for my bike?

    Thanks!

    The following bikes have identical frames and fuel tanks to your 1980 GS1000GLT:

    1980 GS850GLT
    1981 GS850GLX
    1981 GS1000GLX

    Any other frame off a large shaftie (850, 1000, or 1100) can be adapted to your situation.

        Remember bikes are titled by the # on the frame not the engine.
        You better check the laws in your state first before buying a frame
        that is not titled.
