greetings,

i've recently had problems with my gas tank and carburator (1986 GS450L). Apparently, the inside of my gastank is rusting, and thus getting into the carb. So I took it to get cleaned and lined, but it has already been lined, and the dude says his liner will not stick. Therefor, I need a new gas tank that is not rusty. What I need to know, is what gas tanks are compatible with mine. Again, 1986 GS450L red gas tank. I think that 1986-1988 are the same, but maybe i can use yamaha or honda tank as well. It's just starting to get nice out, and I'm anxious, so please help.

email me at lplesset@zoo.uvm.edu

Don't mean to send you else where, but the guys at GS Resources should know what fits since that's what they specialize in, only the GS models. Since I sold mine I've lost track of that type of info, but here is the link. Good luck with the tank.
