Well, I'm glad you asked.
Everything went well. The finish on tank was really good. I checked the fittings and all looked smooth and sealed.


So I test fitted the shrouds and seat to the tank. That looked good so then I test fitted the tank to the bike.


next I marked where the shrouds came to and put some green vinyl tape on the tank. Actually during my test fit I didn't see that this was going to be a problem but because of all the other installs that I have seen I did it anyway.

Shrouds installed ... so far so good .....


Seat on and all put together




While I did find that the seat didn't cover as much as before I really didn't have the gap that I have seen on other installs. I did spend a lot of time extending the front seat mount on the tank and also had to widen out the bracket on the seat to fit. I wonder if some of the installs are not getting the seat in the top bracket.




That's it! I'm very pleased with the results.

 

i want your garage..... looks good.

 

very well done. thats the best fit i've seen i think. so the brass fittings dont touch the frame or anything? i know that was a concern.

 

The frontfitting is touching the crossover frame piece, but it didn't seem to be an issue. Since nothing moves I didn't think it was something to be concerned with.

 

Looks good! But your garage, lift, and all those tools to build a bike from scratchreally suck. And all you other 10 or 12 bikes in your suck garage really suck too!

lol Man I would live in your garage lol

 

Perfect...I'm glad to see another install with the new rad guards go well too. Puts my mind at ease. Thanks for the writeup [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Thanks ......... I think
Did anyone notice my Bling oil fill cap??????? Slid that one right by ya didn't I??

 

looks good man!! your garage makes me sick, i could fit my whole house in there[&o]

 

actually i did see that...just thought it came with the cap. did you make that or did it come with?

 

The clarke tank does come with a plastic cap but this one is the anodized aluminum ventless cap.
But I was refering to my red anodized oil fill cap.
