Thanks! FWIW, the tank does have a tab on each side with nothing attaching to them on this bike... Good idea on the sidestand, I'll probably have...
For what it's worth I just popped the tank off so I could get at the rear spark plugs easier and I found that the tank appears to have a fuel...
Wow, I hadn't even paid attention to that, even though I've been spending a lot of time looking at factory painted bikes (especially comparing the...
