The Gen 1 tank bra fitted straight on by lifting the tank and sliding the bra down around the tank.
It was a very tight fit and you need to get it balanced all around for it to go all the way and fit neatly.

I don't think there would be any need to remove the tank to fit one.
You better make sure they sent a Gen II bra and not a Gen 1 one.

The part number for the GEN 1 tank bra is 99950-64049.
The part number for the GEN II tank bra is 990A0-66006.

I'm not sure where ur fitting problems are with the Bra, quite often if it is left out in the sun or run a hairdryer over it the wrinkles will disappear and it will mould around the tank. The Bagster tank covers are the same and can be a bitch to fit properly in winter. If u use a hairdryer, low setting, wave it over the cover, the trick is to just warm it, not melt it.!

omfg, i searched for a topic like this, and here it is, after i posted mine. Ok anyway , I got my tank bra today, 08 model as stated for my k9

and I have the same wrinkle problem, im yet to try "melt" it Very Happy

, might have a whack at it tonight, cheers

Getting the bras to fit right is a matter of putting it on slowly and evenly.
They are a tight fit.
I don't suggest trying to melt it on.
I had wrinkles at first on my Gen 1 bike with the bra but over a few months they just about disappeared.

TBH i didnt have problems getting it on, just that its a bit loose/wrinkly, but I'll give it some time, see how it fairs

I have same one. There is a strap about 1/4" wide, it fits on real tight all the way around the front lower pressed seem of the tank. Try that. It works.

**Slade** · 16-01-2009, 10:47pm

will try in the morning, I was tempted to when fitting the bra but was worried it would snap

I have a problem with wrinkles sometimes too. Discussions on bras tends to sort the problem out though. Don't know about the hair dryer - sounds a bit extreme, and painful.
