Time for a question or two. I got the tires mounted this week, so the bike is now sitting on its own weight.

The next step is to drill the holes for the front and rear fenders so that I can send the body work off for paint. I to set the bobbed rear fender, I wanted to get the lines of the fully assembled bike, so I put the new seat and filthy tank on.
My question is about mounting the tank. When I got the bike, the rear rubber mount for the tank was MIA. I have a new one, but I'm not sure it's I'm using it correctly.

Also, the front "ears" of the tank seem too wide. The under dimension is roughly 4 and 3/8".

The outside-to-outside dimension of the rubber bumpers is 4". When installed, the tank is remarkably wobbly. I moved the bumpers out a bit, which helped, but not a lot. It seems like the tank is barely mounted to me.
I know this seems pretty elementary, but it's a bit of a puzzle to me.
