The 86 1100 slabby had a flatter tank similar to the 85-86 750, changed to the humpier style in 1987. 

Did they have different fuel capacities, any one know ?

Found this on Eblag,to Gsx-r1100-86. I have this shape on my tank 750-85 and it was also apparantly availabel to the 1100-86.

750 and 1100 had not the same tank, the differences are the hole to the fuel tap.

This tank is Important.

That is the only tank  ever manufactured  by a Japanese company to reflect  what it needs to win the Suzuka 8Hr. You'll see it on Kit HRC sfuf, but that never got to the road bikes.

.BTW the only reason why they have that lift chamber at the front is because of fuel surge and expansion.  We're now racing 30 yr old bikes, guess what, we've not changed the laws of physics.

I like this tank

I've got a ball valve in the tank boss, plus an inline one in the Orange across to a bottle that will vacuum backj!

Mark/Foggy is now accepting that Suzuki were probably right. I'm gonna have to build a surge chamber into the breather area of our tanks.

That would be fine, unless Phase One Endurance could be better than  SERT. :$
