Thanks for the fuel injection clamp idea. They seem to be superior to the standard hose clamp and they are made for high vibration. Perfect.

Or is there any wisdom here, that I just don’t see?...
is it really OK to leave it like that?...


Holy ****! .......... `Doesn`t look like a 90* fitting coming from that tank to me. There`s obvious strain on the rubber line high and to the right as though it came off a short and straight barb fitting from the tank. Also, the rubber line points more downward that it would if it were attached to a 90* fitting.

It is a custom tank, there is no 90* but straight downwards. The heads are high, that's why there is no much space.

Not familiar with that frame or tank mount. Is this a custom built bike? How about a pic of the whole bike....

I have done the research and found the following: The frame is made by "Hurrican Customs"/ Trans Global trading Inc. in Florida.
The tank is custom too.
I will move the tank 2-3" forward, to get more space for the seat.
I will send you some pics shortly.

Maybe a 1 or 2 inch tank lift would help??
