Default Problem Mounting Sport Bob Tank

Over the weekend I bought a 2" stretch sport bob tank for my 85 sporty. Love everything about the tank but the only problem is that it didnt come with the brackets or nothing to mount it. Does anyone know where I can get the front and rear mounting kit?

From a private party or a shop??? If a shop, they should be able to supply you with the hardware.

Which tank exactly? One like this?

These guys might be able to help: Steel Thunder Cycles

JP Cycles really does have a lot of mount kits as well (takes some looking)...
Try here? Gas Tank Mounting Hardware

If we knew which exact tank you have (or a pic), we might be able to be of better help...

Steel Thunder's part number for that tank is KW20039 (although it's listed for '95 - '03 Sportys).
You might try them to see if they'll sell you the bracket...

Good luck!

Does anyone make this tank for 2004-2006 1200C bikes?
