Yes, 84/85 tanks fit. The vacuum petcock on the 84/85 tanks fit the 86/87 (and less expensive) so you should be good to go with your manual petcock on the 84/85 tank.

Thanks Pat

I have an '86/'87 tank for sale... PM if interested...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Its not painted, a member was going to have it repainted. Then he found one painted and sold it. If still interested I will get it off the shelf and take some pictures.
