GT750 Fuel Tanks
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:40 am
I know that the GT750 fuel tanks changed shape in 1976 dropping the raised center section and changing the angles quite a bit in the front section.
But, are the tanks from 72-75 identical in all ways or just shape? It is the other components i.e. gas cap, radiator cap cover and hinge mechanism that I am particularly curious about. (I know the paint, decals and side emblems are different but I am less interested in those).
Also, was the tank on the '77 model slimmed down or is it the same basic shape and capacity of the '76 version.
I have a fairly decent '72 tank that looks quite a bit better on my bike than the 76 version I'm presently using (its what I had at the time) and would like to switch to the earlier model. If there are differences between 72 and 74, I would rather search out a 74 model to be consistent with the rest of the bike but if they are the same, I'll start work on the '72 tank I already have.
