Do SR500 tanks fit 79 XS650's?

[kassrocket]

Can anyone tell me wether the SR500 tanks will fit a 79 XS650 Special?

I have been looking around on ebay and it seems there are some nice ones around but judging from pics i can not distinguish wether they will fit my XS or not..

Regards..

I've never tried the swap, but one possible issue, the SR500 has a single left side petcock that is a few inches farther forward than the XS650, and looks like it would end up about where the rear rocker cover is.

I have a couple of SR tanks if you want better pics and or measurements.

Just let me know.
