Replacing Tank Mounting Cups
View attachment 140624
A '78 Standard freshly acquired has had the factory tank mounts ground off. I want to use a nice 650 tank I have rather than one of the two XS750 tanks it came with mainly because I do not want to pay $200 or $300 to upholster a chopped seat pan at this point.
A search on this site says a frost plug properly modified will substitute nicely so I will give it a shot.

My plan is to cut the edge off the base and spread the arms out like the stock ramp and fasten them on the neck either with flush rivets or through bolts.
More to come.
