Make sure u use new fibre washers on the 2 M6 mounting bolts or it'll piss gas everywhere.
Tap needs to be left in "ON" position before dropping tank down, chuck a gallon in & check for leaks before filling it.
Good time to replace inline filter near pump, OEM or Yambits, don't fit a cheapo filter, it'll let you down?
Watch out for overflow & breather pipes dropping down thru frame, can be a mare to get back up to tank, pipes take a mad route down between swingarm & back of motor?
Cheers Gaz ,, found this kit,, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144865330149 ,,would that be the same ?? have ordered a box of various fibre washers too
