gas tank

[flash2002]

Well, I did some sand blasting today, frame, a few parts and the gas tank. I dicovered after sand blasting the tank it was so rusty inside that the sand blasting made a hole on the outside bottom :head bang: , Great now I need a new tank. Anybody got a spare tank for sale in good shape ? I'm not shure but did I see a Gold Wing with a plain motorcycle tank, like a Valkyrie tank or something like that, is it possible to install a plain tank, did anybody do this.

ekvh has got one on a project bike of his, pictures in his gallery album. The only Valk tanks I've found, (been looking for one too) are way up there in dollars.

Description: New-to-me Meanstreak tank, two small dents. 4.5 gallons and it fits the frame easily. I will make it so it flips up to the rear.

I read the 77 and later tanks were treated to be rust resistant. True or not?
