Tank swap info.

First off,thanks people for all this info....this rocks! ok, my tank has a lid that doesn't take a key,i don't like that at all. Second i like the fatter tanks with the bigger Kawasaki emblems,it's simple as taking one off and putting the wide 5 gal tank on right?

some will swap right on, some wont. im sure some one on here will know which ones will swap over with no mods. i have an 84 Kz550 and i tried to put a 78 kz750 tank on, didnt work at all. but i got a 1968 honda tank on with almost no mods. i would suggest to take a look at how and where your tank attaches, and when you are looking at other ones, be sure they are similar

I'm curious, too.

I'm about to buy a '78 KZ1000 LTD which needs a tank. It currently has the smaller tank which has a huge dent in it; and, I'd like to replace it with the larger tank. Anyone know if this will work?

Thanks in advance

I'm looking to put a older 900 style tank btw.

Yes, a standard kz1000 tank will fit in place of the small LTD tank..

my 78 kz1000 I put a 76 kz900 5gal.tank I have a 3.5 and a 5 gallon of an 80 but it has a vacuum petcock the 76 900 is the one to use ...

Cool ~ I'll start my shoppin' now.

BTW: Nice looking bike (and tank).
The larger seems to fit the LTD quite well.

Anything will fit if you take the time to do it. I've got an 80 xs eleven tank on mine and moding another xs eleven tank to have a newer style cap and maybe some preformed-knee dents from the donor tank as well.
