Need help installing teardrop tank
My friend gave me a teardrop tank that should fit my 98 XL 1200C. I believe it is this tank from Dennis Kirk-

The problem is that I don't have any of the mounting hardware. Tried contacting DK, but haven't gotten any help there yet. The documentation isn't the greatest. The tank is a little longer than stock, and I believe there may be a bracket for the front mounting tabs to attach a little farther forward. Does anyone have one of these tanks, or have installed one, that can help guide me?

Haha, yeah thanks DK, but wrong DK. After doing some more research, it seems I do need a kit to mount this tank. Looks like $50-60. Hoping I can find them cheaper or get a break from Dennis Kirk. Here is my winter project so far. Added some apes, and got the tank stripped down. Still need to smooth it out, and seal it. Just sitting on there right now-
