Re: Rear mount gas tank

I don't know what A/M is?

If it was designed to be used with straps the flange isn't strong enough to support the weight of the tank, use the straps (IE, stock style tanks).

If the flange has a bunch of holes drilled in it and didn't come with straps, *probably yes*. Pretty much all aftermarket "square" tanks I've seen seem to be frame mount.

Gas weighs a little over 6 lbs/gal, so a full tank can be over 120 lbs!
