Gas tank straps
Okay, ready to get a new sender, have the tank painted, what's the trick to getting the straps out? I just have them hanging, wanted to clean them up and paint them. I've tried removing them and haven't had any success! What the hell am I missing? I thought they just slip out if you have the rear high enough, and let them hang down, push back? Push up?

Re: Gas tank straps
Did mine a couple summers ago. Don't recall any issues removing either the tank or straps. IIRC, I unbolted the forward ends of the strap and removed the pinch bolt on the rearward ends and let them hang from the rears while I pulled the tank forward (so the fill neck cleared) and lowered it. Once tank was removed, simply slid the straps rearward out of the retaining slot they ride in.

Re: Gas tank straps
Ahhhh the pinch bolt on the strap, that makes sense now. I hadn't run tails in years so there was a lot of soot and carbon all over the rear end, tank and straps, hadn't noticed there were bolts that pinch the strap .
