OK, So, I Decided to Follow mavereq"s Idea, and move my Rear End back an inch, and While plotting my exhaust around my 4 link, I thought how easy it would be to lift the Rear Tank 2". I looked around, Opps, the Sending Unit... Ok, a Scrap of 4"X4" Angle Iron would clear a path for that,... Woops, Getting thin on the Cross Member,... Beef'd that up a bit....
What Else,... Brackets.... OK, Front Brackets? Just Drill and Tap 2" higher for the 5/16" bolts... Home Depot for $9 sells the 5/16" Tap, and Drill bit together.... how cool is that?
Rear Brackets,... They're Angled....and 2" above them, there's no frame to drill & tap. The way they mount is Angled.... So, I transfered that angle to My bench, Layed the Bracket on the line, and Squared up 2" on each hole.. Transfered those lines to some 1/8"X2" Bar Stock, Cut, Grind, Drill, Weld, Grind,... And There ya go...
HEY, Dont Forget, you have to shorten and ReBend the Bottom Strap....
Big Plus,... I don't have to Cut my Gas line, and add a section of hose..
Also, for new Isolater on the Brackets... Stop by a Good Motocross shop, get an innertube from the trash, cut to shape, and use My Favorite: GOOP
