My tank(s)have a little bit different mounting tabs on them.But that shouldn't be a problem.
This is the first '87 I did.I welded a connector nut(just a nut about 2" long) to the back bone where I wanted it to sit.The rear mount,I used the mount from the stock tank and welded it to the Sporty tank.

The tank mounts you have are like the ones on my Saga tank on the '86.All I did,for the front mount was drill and tap a 3/8ths hole in the back bone and bolted it in there.The rear I had to custom make mounts because I had to change out some of the backbone.But on yours I would just weld a tab farther back to go into the stock tank location.

Next project:finish '87 Savage custom/bobber/CHOP STYLE***DONE
finish '77 Yamaha XS650 bobber Bought another one
finish'79 Harley custom bobber(NEXT)

Rear mount Bolt hole at the bottom of the pic are the front mount bolts.
