I pulled the tank back down and compared it to the original - visually not much difference except the flanges. I bent them in where the straps are, like the OEM tank. That got me closer but not quite. I had to remove the rubber strap to finally get the bolts on, and I had to hook up the passenger side rear bolt then force the undercarriage bolt to line up and drive it in. I confirmed it is only hitting at the reinforced area where the tank mounts - no rubber hose holder or hose clamps or wiring in the way. It is what it is for now. When I eventually get it out of the garage and up on ramps or stands and have some room I may give it another try.
I'm done with this thread - I need to get the seat foam replaced and the exhaust re-hung which will include some welding, and maybe an inline muffler to supplement. Before I take it to a shop I need to re-work the door straps and weather stripping when I have a free and sunny weekend, and replace the tires.
