I spotted that tank on ebay and fell in love with the color. Sometime in the future I would love mine painted similar to that... a deep black cherry color that fades to a lighter burgundy. Good score.'79 XS11 F

They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~Comment

Did you get the side covers too?"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

Nice find! That'll get you a bit more fuel capacity for that Special. As an 80Standard tank, should be a close color match too.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

I didn't get the side covers....I wasn't planning on that....really didn't even think about them until now..oops. I was going to make a set that fit inside of the frame rails at some point......until then I'll use my black ones. I'm not sure the 80 standard side covers will fit the 80 midnight...will they? I did also grab the set of new petcocks he was selling though.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

I have a GSX600F right now, I could not possibly ride it over twenty miles. My palms would be killing me from carrying my body weight on them. Not to mention having my knees permanently embedded in my stomach.
MUCH prefer the ride of the XS11. But the Katana does have some get up and move about it for sure.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Yep, it's a sickness that creeps up on you...I'll be waiting for the post about the new bike!!Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. ThompsonComment

That tank has a great looking paint job and the emblems seem pristine. Makes me wonder what the rest of the bike looked like.Richard

Yes and no. The seat won't mate up to the tank as clean, so you may have to modify/bend the seat pan a little to make it look right.Originally posted by ruffrider View Post
Also the special tank has a resistor in it for the fuel level low light, while the standard tank has a level sending unit.
I think the units may be interchangable, but I can't remember if the holes are the same size.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!
