Larger KZ750 tank was created by germanpickle
I'm happy with my 1980 KZ750 LTD 4 with one exception. I hate having to stop for a fuel up every other day. Has anybody done a tank replacement?

If so please share your story and details of what tank you ended up with. I'm looking at KZ1000 tanks and even tanks from another manufacturer. I don't mind doing mod work, but the less the better. My goal is to get a tank around 20 litres in size.

Thanks.

Hello:

JMKZHI is correct...I don't anything about fitment, but the capacity of the H tank is 12.4 l while that of the E tank is 17.3 l...giving you almost an extra gal...if the tank even fits. :)

It will bolt up. (I have one sitting on an LTD project right now). However the forks will contact the tank; choices are either to fab up longer steering stops, (bad idea, makes a very wide turn radius); or hammer out some relief areas in the tank, or switch to a front end with "deeper" triple trees. (like a 750 E for example).

82 GPZ 750 / 750 L type tank may fit also, don't know.
