Gas tank straps

[Scott91370]

I ordered new straps to hold the tanks in, took the old straps off and removed the rivets. Beginners luck failed me and I do not know which strap is front and which is rear - one is 3/4" longer than the other. I am pretty sure the longer go to the rear since it is quite a bit larger but was hoping for some help here.

Thanks all!!

Glad you mention this so I know to label mine.

If you're removing the entire bracket don't worry about labeling them. Front and rear are different mounting points. It's just if you remove the actual strap from the bracket you'll need to remember.

Yes, longer one fits on the back.
