My first tank was a Ricks, I'm selling it now on the board. The thread neck on the Rock V is a PIA IMO trying to get it on and there's no safety against douche bags.

Rock Valley straps = way too short, not even close and costs me hundreds at the shop to remedy.
There's a picture in the other post that shows a cylinder adapter was needed to make up the room. I think they made my tank taller because it needed 15 gallons of fuel and the thing was a little over 1/4 on the gauge.

I don't plan on getting fuel on the cushions but I prefer the cushions, more that I think of it I can't recall a factory fuel tank that didn't have them.

It's a great tank, but like life the small side dishes can sour the meal a little.
