I just got my gas tank back.

My friend Steve was doing some paint stripping anyways, so he volunteered to strip all the paint off my gas tank while he was at it.

The only trouble with it, was that I DIDN'T have the gas tank while I was working on the battery rack. I just went to put the gas tank on the cycle, and the tank does NOT clear the batteries.



I'm seriously considering just trimming an inch off the entire bottom of the gas tank. As it is, I can't put through the end screw that mounts the gas tank to the frame.

Is anyone going to try to talk me out of taking the cut-off disc to the tank!?!??!
