1980 Special Gas Tank Wanted.

[Yard Dogg]

Hey there. When I bought this bike it had a huge dent in the tank and at the time I had not heard of pressurizing the gas tank and heating the metal to pop it out yet, so my dumb azz welded metal studs to it and pulled the dent out. The metal ripped, so I welded it back up and smothered JB weld over it, then used bondo. It turned out descent if you don't know what's there, doesn't leak (yet), and I can hardly see the dent, but I would like a tank that has not been totally brutalized for my bike. This way I can take my time painting it and put some cool graphics on while I'm at it without loosing riding time. I won't have money for a few weeks until income tax so no hurry, I just wanted to start the search now.

I also would like to know what years are interchangeable with my bike for reference, thanks.

I have a special tank hanging on my garage wall.I can take pics and send them to you.
My friends family lives in Pasco, so if you want it and can wait a bit I can probably get it to the Tri-Cities pretty easy.He either goes down there or
his dad comes to Spokane usually every couple months.You could even pick it up if you happen to come to Spokane.

There are 4 different stock tanks used by the bikes on this forum:
ALL Specials
ALL Standards (including '78)
Venturer (looks like a Standard tank, but larger)
ALL XJ's

So, if you find a "Special" tank, it doesn't matter what year it comes from. They are all the same.
