Fuel tank mishap.

I was putting on the power kit and had the tank partially propped up on a 2×4. When I was wrestling with the stock pipe trying to get it off, the tank launched off the bike. The elbow connector broke; I just sent GP Motorcycles an email asking me to order a new one. I hope it doesn’t a) take a year for the part to get in, or b) cost a fortune for a little plastic part.

Not sure if the part on the plate simply screws off…I haven’t tried yet because I didn’t want to break it even more.

Wires that lead from the tank also pulled out. I have no idea which wire goes in which hole since the colors on each end are not identical.
