[QUOTE="Slonishku, post: 748334, member: 19346"] Because of the bushing/ Givi rack interface, the tank did not sit firmly agains the fore and aft support points as designed. The front "legs" of the tank hvered 2.47mm above the FJR's seat support. The aft support points of the tank hovered 6mm above the rear footpads. The tank itself, hovever, was solidly held in place by the bolt mounts without any wiggle or movement. I replaced the existing 8x25mm buttonhead bolts with 35mm allen heads to accommodate the bushings and tank. Front legs and 2.47mm gap (looking aft from the right side of the bike): [IMG]https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1268/4664096400_d3c455b6c8_b.jpg[/IMG] Right bushing and 6mm rear gap (looking slightly aft from the left side of the bike): [IMG]https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1303/4663095063_17b835dfb3_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
