cheap fix.bent 636 tank bracket
ok the bent bracket well you know bend it back but then make your self one of these....
ever bend your rear tank mount on your 636....
comming down hard in a spreader or high chair will do it ,or jumping on your tank for one of a hundred reasons..
never again
i made this out of that stuff they make cutting boards out of ,poly metha etha some thing or other i don't know but im sure 3/4 inch ply wood or some thing flat and strong would work...
it holds the tank up around the whole bottom of the tank so it never bends the rear bracket
i have had alot of people pm me about this thing i made and can never seem to get any one to understand what the hell im talking about
so here's a pick you could make this out of any thing flat and strong and thick enough to support the rear part of the tank
the cut out is for the pump and wires i just zip tied it to the subframe
the four holes were already in the peice when i got it they serve no purpose and the black part is just so you don't see it under the tank [sharpie lol]

the mounting bracket on the 05 06 tank is way beefier then the one on the 03 04 tank so this mod will not be needed for the 05 06......

Re: cheap fix.bent 636 tank bracket
because the 05 tank has no front mounting, the tank has two big bolts that connect it to the frame from the sides. looks pretty strong. even thou the rear hanger looks cast aluminium and kinda weak. but the two side bolts probably take the most load.
