  • 78 gas tank

    I'm trying to find a gas tank for a '78 XS1100. But I need one with working petcocks and a key... no (or very little) rust on the inside would be nice also.
    I have purchsed 2 from ebay, neither had petcocks or keys and when I got them, they were the wrong tanks, from what I have seen the '78 tank has a different set up on the fuel / vacuum lines than the Specials did. I tried to find a work around (short of new boots and carbs) with no luck. So, if anyone has a tank from a '78 with petcocks and keys and minimal rust on the inside, please let me know.
    Thanks

    I have a Blue/Cream tank from an 81 standard. Comes with petcocks and key, Clean inside and out. It should work for your application. Has some scratches in the paint and 2 small dents but is actually in real nice shape for the year. I can send photos if you are interested. Send me a PM.

      I put a 79 special tank and petcocks on my 78 xs11 standard, I just picked up a 79 special fuel splitter and added it. It works great.
