Looks good!

Most importantly looks like the tank mount is in the right place

In the right place but not square.

Was bloody dodgy job sorting that, we thought the only way of making sure it was right was to fit the tank then tack the bracket in place, there's about half a tank of petrol as I didn't consider draining it before.

The urge to shout bang was great lol

I think I've worked out how to get the tank bracket square. Two lengths of threaded bar passed through the rear tank mounts and rest on the swingarm, lock nuts to keep the mount at the right height, and keeping the bracket central will be easier as we wont have the weight of the tank to contend with  also the rear mounts on the tank have bent a little over the years which didn't help when eyeing up the bracket.
