Title: WTB 78 GS Tank
Post by: DKWRACER on June 06, 2006, 05:03:33 PM
Hello and greetings from Colorado. Have a need for the GS tank for 78 400, this tank is similar to the white MC5 tank but slightly larger, my frame has the u-shaped front tank catch, if important, thanks in advance...

Tom,
You are welcome to my plastic desert tank that was on my 1978 MC5 when I bought it last December. I have one of the smaller white MX tanks that I bought for it and new decals, so I will not be using the desert tank. Mike [email protected]
I know you can't always go by the pictures, but all of the pictures of the GS versions I have seen didn't have the U shaped front tank bracket, only the MC5. Does the 78 GS bikes also have it? My 78 MC5, an extra frame, and my brothers MC5 frame number starts with # 855, which I read somewhere is the 78 MC5 frame designation. What does your frame number start with?

Mike, thanks for the reply. My frame is also 855 designation and came with the MC5 tank and u-shaped front bracket. Have always been wanting to build a GS version, so would be interested if the desert tank will fit under the front bracket, email to follow, Thanks again.

Tom,

Will you be selling the MC5 tank that you are taking off, as my 78 250 came with a 80 or 81 tank on it when I got it

Cheers
Chris

Hello Chris, I have decided to keep my MC5 tank. Tony, whom has also responded, may have an MC5 tank. Thanks, Tom Brosius
