1981 GS850L fuel tank

[Unhooked1]

Hello all and I am new to this forum. I have been restoring an 81 GS850L and everything has come together pretty well except for the fuel tank. The bike sat for about 12 years and the tank suffered. I have made many attempts to patch / repair the tank and every time I think " I got it !! " A couple weeks later it will start leaking again from another area. Mostly along the seam along the bottom of the tank. My question is not about patching so much but it is more about can I replace this tank with one from any other models? I may be able to acquire another tank from a different model or year bike and I am just not sure of any that will fit. I am going to make another attempt to patch this tank one more time...but also want to find a replacement.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Did you check eBay? Put an ad up in the Parts Wanted forum?

I have not tried the parts wanted section on there. Good idea. There is a metric bike salvage yard about 1.5 hr away from me I was planning on taking a drive up there next week.

On another note..... is there a for sale area on this forum? Whole bike?
