1974 850 - I've messed with the oil tank before - took it to a blacksmith. He fixed the top mounts and supposedly "reinforced" the bottom one, although it still looks a little weak to me. If I were a smart person, I would've skipped the bottom mount altogether like the CNW refurb. But alas, I am not that person.
Anyway, a few thousand miles and an oil change later, the annoying leak reappeared and I've traced it back to the oil tank. I have the tank off now, but nothing is obvious. What's the best way to test these tanks for a very small leak? I suspect that bottom mount, but if I can at least rule that out I have some other ideas...
Appreciate any advice.
