Scooterotica

fitting an SSP 13l tank and I have fitted the bottom and the long rubber that slides in the cross member near the rear wheel, but the 4 rubbers that normally sit on the join of the standard tank in the middle it looks like you don't need them but the straps then are griping straight on the tank.

Looked on SSP web page and it says fit as a normal tank with new straps.

Has anyone done anything different ?

Mine is fitted as yours with no rubbers mid way,the straps are straight on the tank.

I fitted mine without the side standard rubbers, but cut an old inner tube to the shape of the straps and fitted them up the vertical sides where the strap touches the tank. Perfect fit and a good bit of kit.

You could try some heat shrink tubing on the straps before fitting them.

Now that's a great idea, even for standard straps !

Especially those colour match 'freaks' that insist on having matching coloured grips, stand feet, brake pedal rubber and kickstart rubbers.


Errrrr, apart from Black or Grey that is.

thanks for all the tips, i've got a sheet of roofing rubber it's a bit thicker than an inner tube, i'll cut a couple of strips out of that.
