Fitting A 12 Litre Tank

[soulsurfer]

Just dry building, and find the 12 litre tank so tight to the toolbox that, when the time comes, I stand no chance of fitting this without damaging paint. I'd prefer to fit rubbers on the seam but it looks like I barely stand a chance if getting the strap on without scraping off a layer of paint.
Any tips on how you fitted yours?
Thanks

have you tried no bottom rubbers to see if its any better ??
if it is better the thin them out

The rubbers as fitted make no difference to the front & back clearance where the seam touches.
Has anyone else had this problem?

With my 12/13 L tank with double carb cutouts from buzzslomoto I have a gap approximatly 20mm between the tank and toolbox... But getting the straps on without scratching the paint was a bit of an issue, with my ape like approach.

try a couple of different tool boxes some mite sit shorter than others

That tank definitely looks much bigger than mine Mike, where's it from?

I believe it's from SSC Rich.

I had one of these and couldn't even get it in the frame. Ended up sending it back and bought a Buzzsolomoto one. That was still tight, but I managed to squeeze it in.

Just a thought. Why don't you buy a couple of these and make your own? Should be doable for someone with a bit of welding skill.

i fitted a Stainless SSC (TS1 cut out) one to an indian GP it required all the rubbers to be reduced slightly but once done there was a gap between toolbox - i managed to fit it without removing the toolbox

have never fitted one to a S2
