Removed tank bid - gap under chrome plate

DenverRider said:

Hey guys! Just found the forum, how awesome!

just bought an ‘07 VTX13R - came with leather tank bib - not my style…

I removed the bib and now have a gap between the tank and chrome plate, about 1/16-1/8 inch…. How do I make gap go away??? Thanks!

DenverRider, Welcome to the forum. I believe the gap is supposed to be there. There are plastic isolating washers under the gauge cluster to prevent rattling so that's why the gap is there. Other more informed members will be along shortly if I am wrong. Again welcome.

The gap is normal. You can try door edge trim if it bothers you.

Not the dreaded tank trim...

It's there from the factory

Welcome! Yep it's always there.
