Here's a pic of my old tank which shows what the mount should look like sorta lol. You just gotta bend this piece back out to expose the bolts like infrolen just said

 

So basically just take those bolts out and yank it by hand? Lemme go try some superman bending steel ****.

 

yeah take the back bolts out to loosen the back of the tank and then try yanking the front back to expose the bolts by bending that bracket

 

Could you rephrase that please?

 

Whatchu mean

 

Just none of the first 6 posts made about taking off the rear bolts and pushing or pulling the tank back to bend the bracket back in order to expose the front bolts were really clear

 

okay I thought maybe I wasnt clear enough for a second

 

oh my... lol

 

you know you wanna help toneth out, he's so tall

 

ahahahahahahahahahaha

 

 

He needs a set of cables and needs to bend that front mount...

I would NOT remove the rear bolts of the tank and straighten that way because then he might have a problem trying to align the rear mount back up..


If you notice the bracket stock has a nice little bend to it. I would put pressure on the TOP-FRONT of the tank and push it till i got it where its decent..

 

Hahaha.

**** me. I can't get it to move for ****, and I'm a pretty big dude. Also it has no brakes so I'm just keeping it in gear and yanking... could that **** the tranny up? Oh, and one of the rear seat bolts was stripped.

 

This is gonna sound like a ridiculous question, but can anyone with cage that's either A-town or something similar the size see wide it is from the edge of the left slider to the edge of the right slider? I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get the bike through my gate with a cage. I only have a little more than 2 feet of clearance. I had to like push it through my gate down the ramp using the back and have my boy grab the front to get it downstairs. I don't have room to walk next to it. I'm gonna have to basically ride it up and down a flimsy *** ramp to get it in and out.. that's if it fits.

 

And it begins Tone.... lol....... And your bike is pretty much assembled... just imagine the stress I was going through.....

 

If it doesn't fit I can use our other gate it's wide enough.. only thing is that there's another set of stairs leading to my apartment about 4 feet after you go down the initial steps right after the gate since I love the in the basement apartment... but you can go around these steps. For this purpose, lets pretend those steps are a wall.... I basically am going to need to have the ramp at an angle. I can't put it directly straight lined up with the top steps. There's about 3 steps I need to get down with the ramp.. basically rather than ramp being like this | it's going to be like this \ which will bypass the wall. Any idea how I can do this? Is it safe to put the rubber parts of the ramp at an angle? I was thinking of putting a cinderblock on the top step and turning it slightly and lining the ramp up with it so it's straight against the cinder block, then just turning the bars at the top.

 

toneth i got plenty parts for your gixxer if u need anyone need forks w/vortex clipons and a ezpull complete with master..50mm

 

Thanks Peerock.

Regarding my post before about using the other gate if I can't get it through the smaller one that I can go straight down on...

This is the other gate. Any ideas on how I can get down this? The ramp would have to be angled onto the grass going through where all the garbage is. That patch of concrete is much shorter than it looks.

 

Its hard to tell how steep those bottom steps are.I'm guessing you cant just leave it parked on that middle landing. Block your own steps by placing it on an angle with the front tire chained to the banister. I think you may have more of a problem backing the bike down each time by yourself though if you do the ramp thing. I also have GSXR Parts too.. Going for CHEAP

 

Pretend the bottom steps don't exist and it's a wall... it can't go down the bottom stops, the very bottom landing is only 2 feet long. Parking it isn't a problem, I can keep it in the yard. It's getting it down those original 3 steps you see that will be. There's room to park it on the middle landing, but that doesn't help because if I park is there there isn't enough room to get the ramp underneath it. It needs to come in from an angle. There's no way I can leave it out on the sidewalk in front not because I'm worried about it getting stolen, but because people ain't havin it.
