Fab'd up some side mounts for the fuel tank so I can eliminate the tank straps.
Shaved off part of the front mounting bracket for the tank strap to add a little more room for the exhaust. Only gained a 1/2" but it may help later.
Using Ridetech's universal billet gas cap, took a bit to make it work but I think it's worth it. It's a really nice piece.... will be a shame to cover it with the license plate!
Cleaned it up
Had to raise the access port a bit to clear the new filler body and provide room for the filler neck vent port.
Made this little box to reseal this area up. I made an opening for access to the filler neck vent port, just to provide a visual later to make sure it doesn't leak. I'll make a gasketed cover for this opening later.
Welded in and epoxied. A little seam sealer after the epoxy cures. I still need to modify the filler neck to get it to align with the fuel tank....next week.
