ok, so on my newest project...an xs650... i'm trying to figure out the best way to mount one of the lowbrow wassell peanut tanks without having the tank tabs eventually break...as is so common. any ideas? one idea i have is to cut a half inch hole in the tab and weld in some round stock to create a flat spot as opposed to the curved tab and drill a 5/16" through hole in the stock. then get a cylindrical vibration mount, with 5/16" male-male studs on each end, and use that as the way to reduce vibrations. of course i'd drill a half inch hole in the backbone and weld in a bung that has a 5/16-18 threaded hole....any better ideas would be greatly appreciated. In positive this has been covered but why not have all the ideas in one place.
