When i tried to get the 17lt tank on the ttr i had to change things a little, I placed the tabk on the frame, no seat, looked at the front triangle mount thingo (with the rubber bit in it), then worked out were it should go, undid one of the tank end bolts, rotated the triangle for the best angle, added a over size washer and then put the screw/bolt back in, this had a solid mount with the triangle off set, thus the rubber grommet was lined up and the Yamaha bolt went through into the frame smoothly, ran this for 6 months, dealers (x2) servced the bike with this mod all ok, also did mabye 20K+ all weather, conditions, tank bag on top, off road riding (hard) etc all ok.. I dont have photos, as i use the XR triangle mount for the 23 lt tank, however maybe give it a go on yours best of luck al (ps will try and find a photo of the mount set up now etc)
