Good afternoon. '94 R1100GS. Infamous plastic tank. Always hard to mount back up after removal. Have to use a C-clamp on the mounting point (right hand side, rear) to jack it into position. Anybody have a clever fix for this? Thanks. tjs
They swell overtime. I gave up and switched to metal tank on my -94 last year. Over time I filed away the hole in the metal mounting ear and twisted the end with the thread. The screw would go in more and more "sideways"... I also made the hole in the tank mounting tab bigger/longer. /J
Yes, the plastic tanks are a pain, but since my GS came this way (it's a euro model with klick speedo and headlight on/off), I want to keep it as intact as possible (hardparts and Olins are as custom as it gets). I figured some sort of surgery was probably my only recourse, and your reply shows that. Thanks again. tjs
