I'd go with Dave's tank or JOGs route.

I'm curious why it broke.

Youhave bushing above and below the flange?

JOG, I'll post some pictures once I have the tank off. Do not know the answer to your questions at the moment.

I may be over simplifying this - but I believe cracks are caused by stress and vibration.......I am not sure the crack can move without either (although cracks can also be created by stresses resulting from large changes in temperature).

Out of curiosity - are these tank mount cracks occurring more often on bikes that have raised the front of the seat using spacers?
