I've had a 1987 Kawasaki Concours 7and half gallon gas tank, from a Concours, that I once owned new, for 2 years, that I've
saved, since then. For the last few years, I had plotted, on how to fit it on my 81 XS11 Special. Finally, this is gonna happen.
This is a very handsome shaped tank; and will show off the top of the overhead cam engine, better, than the stock 3.9 gallon teardrop tank>because of some work I did to the Concours tank with a torch and hammer>not visible from the outside. This tank, I saved, minus the lid. The following, below>is an email that I've sent to several motorcycle salvage websites>to try to find tank cap assemblage. (Some forum member, might have something like this, in his back yard, or on shelf gathering dust.)
" I need a gas tank cap assembly for an old Kawasaki
Concours gas tank. I think it has 7 screw holes, on the
countersunk attachment apparatus. This is probably
a fairly universal size Japanese gas tank
cap assemblage.
If you've got one "that needs cleaning up",>fine>the rougher lookin' , the better > I need one cheap.
