non-fuel injection up to 1986 approx
fuel injection up to 1986 approx
1986 and on (carb and FI are the same)
Sounds like you have a 1986-on tank. It lacks clarity saying its a "cabby" tank because cabbys were available from 1979 and with all 3! Of course, the most plentiful are probably 86 on or whatever so that's why its been described as such. Basically, it won't fit, not without a degree of modification etc. I guess it could be made to fit but as I understand things, the later ones bolt on and the earlier, are secured with straps, so you're making a lot of work for yourself.
If misdescribed, might be worth returning to seller. If bought in error, sell on and purchase correct spec tank.
