Hey guys,
as we get further into winter the knives come out and I get more involved in my little modification projects... I'm currently fabbing a Honda CL175 tank to go on the SR. I wanted everyone's opinions: If the new tank clearances over the frame are pretty tight, say, 'have to fit on with a block of wood and tapping with a mallet' tight, and there's no room on the front tank tabs for any rubber at all, could something potentially REALLY bad happen as a result?
I'm thinking: agitated gas=big between the legs explosion type of scenario, or even frothy gas=not a happy bike. Is there a really good reason why our stock tank gives a heckofalotta clearance to the frame?
Any ideas, experience? why are tanks rubber mounted?
