i know someone on here will know the answer to this...
anyone know the bolt size for where the gas tank attaches to the frame? i seem to have misplaced mine during construction.

Its a 6mm bolt with and oversized captive washer and uses a 10mm wrench. Length ... not sure, maybe ~ 20mm.
Cool.

Same here, 12mm. Just remember to shut that tank mounted valve off before you disconnect anything.

OK the bracket that the tank bolts to which then bolts to the frame is a 8mm with a 12mm head.
That bracket bolts to the tank with 2 grommets that are 6 and 10.
The seat lip goes under that bracket too.
Cool.
