I have just won a very nice 19 ltr tank on ebay,apparently from an ST/GS.i am fitting it to my project bike ,It started life as an RT so i assume that the tank rubbers are different.Does anybody have any photos of the ST mounting rubbers and what the clip at the rear of the tank attaches to,plus there is a captive nut underneath the tank on the non tap side of the tank,what fits to it.

ok I have a 19 l tank on mine it gust has ruber stripes which you need to glue on to the tank taperd in stead of a pad and you will need a longer strap for fixing its basicaly a basic tank what you have I would be interest to no what you payed and the condition !!!! I have a new lid for one siting in the garage !!!! thous tanks go licke gold dust in germany :ronno
 
on my St, at the front there is a rubber cross piece , and the clip at the back it just clips under the frame top tube
 
depending what year of your original bike you may struggle with the tank actually fitting on over coils and lugs for relays and stuff

Thats a pretty ST tank.

Don't know what that captive nut is for. I cut the little bracket off when I sprayed my ST tank.

Petrol tap

The ST tank has only one tap,so how does the petrol get from the non tap side to the tap side when there is no balance pipe.:nenau
