The tank is an excellent replacement idea. I like it given the fact you can't find a good used one for sure. I had a GS1000 and it was stolen, wanted another ever since.
Yes indeed the tank is not the original. It was a Brand new one from Holland that I managed to find. The old one had a liquid liner put in it and it had disintegrated. The new tank does not have the lines down the side but as this bike is for classic racing and hill climbs, I am not bothered. Still have the original tank though.
They are the standard UK bars. Bike is a bit different now and has a total loss ignition, close ratio gear box and straight cut primary gear
