I used the _Kreem gas tank_ (<--Google search term) kit on my `76 Honda
CB360T a few years ago and it seems to have held up well. You should be
able to get the kit at a motorcycle accessory shop that caters to
rebuilders (the only shop local to me that had it on the shelf was a HD
aftermarket shop). You must follow the direction exactly -- no shortcuts
-- and be prepared to handle noxous chemicals with dire health warnings on
their labels. The project will generate some waste products (MEK ketone)
so, depending on where you live, you might want to plan on disposal before
you start.

Hmmm. Google informs me that POR-15 also makes a gas tank liner kit. The
product description makes it sound less odeous than the Kreem kit, and POR
has a very good rep (at least with the early Jeep set). You might look
into that.
