I recently acquired a 17lt clarke tank (the one designed for an S / SM) and am fitting it to my DRZ. Fitting it is not too big a deal, using some nifty metal bars and some lanhamation :)

HOWEVER

the tank on the right side (where the cam lobes are) passes very close to cylinder head. Should I be concerned? I'm talking less than 5mm apart.
