I got the tank done. At least I hope so, since I don't know what else will get in the way.
I used a heat gun to get it to about 250 degrees, then used my drill press as an arbor press with a bungee cord to hold it. The thing between the drill press and the tank is the ball from a 2 1/2 inch valve.
This is the clearance I got:
It's not the 1/2 inch I wanted, but it looks good to me.

Very innovative idea, good work.

I did more stuff today. I finally started tearing down the chassis donor bike:
I trial fitted the rad valve, carb, airbox, and subframe. All of it fit like the factory made it!

I did other things today as well, but they are in a different thread:

Very sweet Torch. The one thing I would suggest looking into is the Revloc as opposed to the Rekluse. I know three people (one of which is a K5) that have it and have had zero issues and love it to death. All three of them had the Rekluse pro prior to this; they said it?s hands down better. Look into the Dyna Ring http://www.revloc.com/dirt/dyna-ring.html You still have 100% use of the clutch if you ever have the urge to grab & utilize it ;-)
Oh, and it's cheaper too; http://www.revloc.com/dirt.html
No get her finished so we can get out and twist a grip!
