had same problem with my 77 gl1000, and yes it is a pain to take out the tank, You have to remove rear tire, rear fender, innerfender, and the final drive, It's not the worse job, but is time consuming, I don't know if you can use the tank sealer linings becouse there are the pick up screens in the bottom over the pick up tubes, I don't know if they will clog up or not, I got lucky and found a tank on ebay for a big wopping 99 cents, and it was 12 bucks shipping, so not a bad deal for me.
I'd try to find a different tank, unless other people have done the reseal jobs without any problems, I have done it to other tanks, but on those I could remove the pepcock and there was no screens in side to plug. so I'm not sure on the goldwings if thats an option, I don't know how you would keep it out of the screens and tubes,
Good Luck
