You need to compress the rear suspension. Either have someone sit on it or use tie downs thru the wheel and around the frame, using towels/rags to protect of course. You won't need much. Been there done that. Got the Termi 50mm system to prove it!  laughingdp

Welcome. The really hard part is loosening/tightening the nuts on the rear downpipe at the head. 2 of the 4 are a pure pregnant dog!  vomit Make sure you have a good selection of 1/4 & 3/8 extensions and swivels.  waytogo

Just installed exhaust on s2r - not sure if its the same but a 10mm (i think) ratchet wrench was a life saver for me.  Was able to fit it onto the right hand side bolt by coming down through the top (tank up seat off).

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=95552 not the ones i have but similar.  I accessed the other bolt with a standard extension.

Good luck.

You are having issues with the tank? Exactly what are you experiencing? There is a thread or two on here about diff issues but I so far am not seeing any of them that I can discern. I have looked again and again after each post like this one...

Lemme know.

yes ive been following those threads, I have also contacted my local duc shop and DNA. I have a drop in appointment for photos on saturday, at which time the request for a new tank hopefully will be made.

oh and the issue is the plastic tank bulging and distorting.
