The weight up front may make it run better too. Only thing i don't like is that it must stick out under the front or rear of the seat for the fuel fill, unless you cut a hole through the seat for access.

If it fits completely under, then I can just slide my front seat out when I need to fill, leaving the tank strapped down. I'd also consider putting a hole in the seat with a flap cover if I had to... I need to move the weight forward, and could use the extra capacity.

If you're considering the tank I'm thinking you are, I'd say three, maybe four straps will do it. Duane G Winter 1984 BW Sport 15 Center Console

I'm considering replacing the front seat with a wider plank to fully cover the tank, and actually pull the seat plank forward when I need to fill, rather than move the tank around, assuming the 9" or so of forward space I can slide the seat will clear the fuel cap.
