This is not a dirt bike.. this is not a dirt bike.. this is not a dirt bike...  

I just wish I could remember that.

Anyway, I busted the rear mount tab on the gas tank.  Snapped it right off at the bend on the tank.
I can probably put it back on using the epoxy putty junk, and a LOT of it, but I need to know the clearance/angle as the surfaces don't mate up exactly enough to tell.
So, if someone has a tank sitting off the bike, can you measure the distance between the mounting tab and the rim of the tank at the very back??  I don't think it actually touches the rim..

Here is some pics of the situation:





I think this gap is too big:



More like this.  But exactly how wide is that gap??


Thanks!
