  • XS850 tank fit?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the tank for a 1980 XS850G fit a 1980 XS11G? They look the same.

    Automatic CCT, RC Engineering 4 X 1 Exhaust, K&N Pods, #50 Pilot Jets, YICS Eliminator. Sorely missed.

    Hi Cobia,

    This was discussed on here recently; XS750 does NOT fit; I would guess that the 850 is similar to the 750?

    If it ain't broke, modify it!

      Cobia,
      The mounts are different, and the 850 tank is missing the "cutouts" for the valve cover. So no it WILL NOT fit without some mods to the tank.

        It's also not wide enough through the tunnel area for the 11. So in a word NO.
        I hate signatures. Too many cars and Bikes to list here.
