I'm ready to send a straightbar tank for repair...but wait a minute!?

Why don't you just sell it as is and get the one you need ,let who ever buys it worry about restoring it,it didn't crash in value just because you bought it, like the stuff I buy , or with the price of tanks you could just buy a bike to fit it

It will take a long time to get the right one. I got this for about 1/2 the cost of a half-decent to really nice proper one. I don't know who wants it although I probably know who can fix it for them.

Are those the tank braces to attach the halves that are different? Tough to tell from the photos, I never knew those middleweight tanks were so different.

Here is pic from my bike I want to say I tweaked the back bracket
Course that's goin back few years it mighta been me that was tweeked

@buickmike i Did you really just break the tab off and did it fit the single straightbar correctly? Please post pictures of the results.

 

[buickmike]

The tab has cleared the frame the smaller flaps are what locates the tank against straightbar.

 

[buickmike]

Now the tab is seen as the straps that fasten tank half's together but tabs have been dimpled to allow tank to come thru the frame.the c clamp and buck would do this without disturbing the outside that tank half bears against

 

[buickmike]

I don't believe the tag system. is working. Aren't we supposed to receive an alert. Also in second pic is nice shot of ringer grip for which I need the mate.
