Happiness short-lived, looking for suggestions

Thank you all for the suggestions. My mechanical skills are decent but machining and welding skills are practically none and I don't have access to a welder. I have made a formal complaint with the body shop, they've asked me to drop the tank off, they will either fix it or get me a new tank if that fails. It's unfortunate, but I guess these things happen, I was very eager to get on the bike and go ride, it has been too long. At least I'm happy with the new look, still contemplating the proper exhaust and grab rails

That sounds like good news. Hopefully no new drama comes out of the service.
