[QUOTE="FJReady, post: 22473, member: 465"] Here's another option if you have a lift point in your garage/shop. I added a marine type stainless steel 'rope guide' to the gas tank mounting bolts(replaced them too). I'm satisfied that the two 6mm screws are plenty strong enough to hold residual weight of bike that isn't supported by the centerstand. Also, it will be helpful when its time to adjust steering column bearings since front end isn't loaded. Its a cheap way to go (my kind of farkle). I will use the bracket to attach the safety strap to my magnetic tank bag on longer trips. The bracket, clamp, guide (what is it really?) needs a little modification in a vise to get the screw holes to line up but not much. Its a readily available piece of hardware at a marine supply store. I have a box of the stainless socket head screws. If anyone is interested perhaps I can make up a few 'kits' for sale. Probabaly about $10. What's the general concenesus? Any interest? [IMG]https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/FJREADY/tankhook18-30-05.jpg[/IMG] Russ [/QUOTE]
