YEAH. IT LEAKS AROUND THE REAR BRACKET SOMEWHERE I CAN'T EXACTLY LOCATE BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT THE TANK ON TOP OF THE BIKE TO GET IT TO LEAK????  ... NOW WHAT?  

HOW ABOUT SEALING IT PLEASE?  ANY ADVICE ON THAT?

don't really remember if this bike ever worked right completely... always something and now it's down for another month while I find a way to fix or get a new tank.  

wow it sure hasn't lived up to my expectations... all the claims that it is suck a great bike never came true.  again..

so I gotta fix it because I'll never afford another bike.  I'm stuck with it...

and I can't sell it broke so I gotta fix it and then I'll lose again because it's suck a perfect machine looks so fine sitting in the garage colledting dust.... wow... I'm just so excited again

 That's either auto-correct or some serious subconscious typing coming through there.

 I have three tanks coming in (used), I can give you one.

There are six rubber cushions. I'm not sure which one you're missing. numbers 8,10 and 12 on the diagram.

Make sure you have them all when you put the repaired or replacement tank back on. Otherwise you're liable to wind up with another crack.

Drain fuel down low but enough to leak, remove tank, dry it off, set it in the sun. Best if you can set it up high enough to get an eyeball up under it.

the dog chewed a #8.  The #10s are squished,

No #12s... only some nylon spacers for lifting the seat................ yeah.
did it again.  

thanks oldNslow... parts on order for the reinstall.  

thanks justin, the wet comes from under the right side of the bracket. just gravity is enough.  but with a low tank and the bike on sidestand the leak was above the gas line inside.  it didn't leak until I filled it and parked it... riding I didn't notice the leak I guess.
