The new tank needed to be mounted about 1 inch forward than the stock tank to allow for the petcock to not hit the rear subframe. This created a gap between the stock seat and the tank....and the stock seat needed to be trimmed at the front to follow the accent lines of the tank.
So, since the stock seat needed to be trimmed and padded in the front anyway, I had the saddle shaved in the rear to prevent the sliding everyone talked about
Killed 2 birds sorta
The pics will show.
Soon my friends....soon
