My very ugly VFR had the tank sitting on the bike when I got it, without the nut at the front. What's supposed to go there? As it is, the tank is just sitting on the frame with the rear attached, but the front is just sitting on those threads with no nut.

Anybody got a pic they would post of what it's supposed to look like?

I've taped off and rattle-canned the front and side fairings as best I can, and have a used windshield now. I'm trying to get the bike presentable if not show-stopping. Folks are staring, it's so ugly....even though it rides and sounds absolutely great and I love it. I'm gonna love it a lot more when it looks like it doesn't belong in a junkyard....

There should be a rubber grommet in there, with a collard washer and then a 10mm nut on top.

Fuel Tank

I'm sure you can get it all from Honda.

I'll try and take a picture when I get home....if it aint raining.

Yeah I see the parts diagram has some components, but it's hard to tell what they're supposed to look like. I was gonna try to get something kinda close when I went to the fastener store for fairing hardware...a pic would be nice...
