[ST] Customizing for clearance

["Steven Kohlscheen" <TrumpST@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this has come up recently.  But I noticed that the plastic 90 deg
fitting coming off the fuel pump plate was chafing on the actual frame of my
bike.  I tried shimming up the back tank mounts, only to find the tolerances
won't allow for it.  Meaning I can't get all 3 bolts to go where they're
supposed to with the shims in place.  grrrrrr  So I did something I thought
I'd never do.  I got out a file and started working the spot on the frame to
MAKE clearance.  I don't think I've done any real damage to the structural
integrity, and I feel better knowing the fitting isn't resting on the frame
anymore.  Here's some pics.
