I'm using a Benelli Mojave also but going a different direction in regard to seat. Do you have any pictures or instruction on how you mounted it? I just got my bike stripped down and am trying to figure it out. Thanks

Thanks, ohiomoto. I believe that guy was known on the forum as braveteacher. I've seen that blog before and I think he's taking a long bolt and screwing it down through the top of the tank, just forward of the gas cap and into the nut he welded into the frame. I was hoping for something where I could keep it a bit cleaner up top.

I see braveteacher hasn't frequented the site here in a while which is too bad since he could answer a few other questions for me about the tank fitting. If anyone has contact info, please pm me.

Armen, if you get back to this thread, if you would be so kind, I'd love to hear how you're doing it. Thanks

Brass,

BSA fastened their fuel tanks with a bolt going down through the tank and threaded into the frame. There was a piece of hose like material around the bolt that expanded when tightened. The BSA system held the tank snug and reduced vibration to some degree. There was a rubber cap that went over the opening in the tank to hide the bolt.

Brass,

As I remember, and it was a long time ago, there were flat things welded to the frame and there were rubber cushions that the back of the tank rested on.

I adapted another tank to a BSA and used thin wall electric conduit, brazed to the tank, for the rubber and bolt to go down through the center of the tank.

Maybe Lancer can remember what his Gold Star had.
