So I decided that the 2021 Khaos tank was dumb! Never had a sled where the tank edges contacted my inner legs/boots. Otherwise the sled felt great(beside the a-arms, but thats another story)
So I did post somewhere on here my plan. Well it turned out fantastic. The reformed tank has been holding it shape perfectly.
So what I did was build a wood jig and use UHMW and shims to push in the sides of the gas tank. I pushed in about 3/4" on each side. Then I put the entire jig and tank in my garage rafters and left its there for 6 months over the summer. Went up in begging of June came down Sometime in November didn't loo at or touch it. It gets pretty damn hot up there.
It's not a quick fix. I also was not interested in using a heat gun etc.
Been out on the sled lots and it feels much narrower. I can not feel the tank on my inner legs at all. Once I get a chance to compere it to my buddies Matrix Ill report back.
Cheers
Allan
