I know this has been a topic, but I'm wondering if anyone has feedback on the cfm tanks. Mine stress cracked on both the front and back in the radius, nearest the lower right hand bracket bolt. Tig welded twice, but still a tiny leak. The heat opened up a few more tiny cracks, but I think the third time might get it. If not, and since these seem to be a common problem I'll go with the cfm tank.
Opinions? JB weld it? Carry 4 extra quarts just in case?? LaLaLa
 
Get a good used tank and install rubber bushings between the tank and frame.
I have done this to my Attak and have over 10,000 miles a not a crack as of yet.
 
Thanks..I was going to put a rubber bushing in too.
I saw some tanks on ebay, but the cfm unit wasn't a whole lot more, so I ordered one of those, and fixed my old one with P7 epoxy.
