• Fit and finish are overall excellent!
• Main fuel tap does indeed sit very close to a frame cross member, but the tank shouldn't move. I'll keep my eye on it, I'm comfortable it's good as is.
• Regarding the brass fuel taps that you remove from the stock tank and screw into the fittings on the Clarke tank: I found the smaller stock o-rings that nest into the grooves of both male and female gave a better seal than the larger o-rings that Clarke provides that don't nest. No leaks with the stock o-rings, and they fit perfectly.
• Regarding the flange on the radiator shrouds that no longer fits under the seat, I trimmed mine off thereby showing a bit more of the tank which I consider my "fuel gauge". I plan to put some Sharpie marks at the varioius fuel levels so I can better manage fuel when out exploring in the sticks.
• As others have mentioned the fuel cap already has a valve it so a simple piece of hose that dumps somewhere on the front side of the handlebars works just fine. Should Clarke provide a piece of tube just in the interest of completeness? Probably, no biggie though.

Sure is nice having that extra capacity, and being able to see it at a glance when deciding whether to go explore than one last trail/road!
