Really, what tank do you think it is? I took the seat off tinkering today and saw that the rear of the tank is not secured to the frame and Im trying to figure out what I need to secure it. Its just resting on the frame.
good news though, new battery, and gas in a spray bottle and she fired right up and kept running so long as fuel was being sprayed into the carb. I started in on the carb and it is filthy and sticky with sludge. Pulled the carb off (s and s super e, and ordered a rebuild kit. First motorcycle carb rebuild, but not new to carbs at all.
You will need to drill a hole and tap it our put a insert in for the rear mount, the squared off OEM tank has 2 tabs on the frame for screws to mount it, if you lift the tank up you'll see tabs and unable to use them on the newer model tank you have.
