Thank you Slow. My bike is a '76. Of course the tank on it now is a'87 Suzuki GS.As far as the stock '76 SS tank,mine went to Daddyman.I MAY know where there is another one,but not sure if it a SS tank or what kind of shape it is in.

   As far as the brake noise.I worked on that today in stages to see what one element cured it.

 Made sure the plastic ring was in place correctly(it was)- no help
 Beveled the edges- no help
 Hack sawed a groove parallel to the ground- no help
 Multiple adjustment on the caliper position- no help
 Verify that the swing joint was in good shape(it was) -no help
what the heck?!?!I then got to thinking about what has changed and where the new noise could have come from.The only thing other than having new pads is the fact that my old ones were saturated in brake fluid,therefore amply lubed. so...

 Greased the pucks with copper anti-seize- cured! quiet as a mouse!
