What\'s missing here?

Was continuing to take "stuff" off the frame now that the tub is off... Went to the gas tank skid plate, removed the '5' bolts (yes, 5) and the whole freaking tank came down with it!

I only had 5 bolts holding the plate and tank BOTH??!!

Re: What\'s missing here?

hahahah you should have looked twice at that before you did it. i made the mistake of dropping my tank with gas in it. i was under it though when i had one bolt left and it started to fall. what a moment of panic!! scrambler tanks rest on the plate as well for the most part. I m not keen on the idea either. i do however like the fact that its a small problem to fix. i drilled some more holes to mount the tank to the frame directly, then used some rubber spacers to give about 1/4 inch space between the tank and the plate when i mounted that up to the original holes.
