Solutions are:

1) Find a set of risers from a police model loopframe.

2) If you know some body who has a mill, have them mill the base of the
riser at an angle of about ten degrees to bring the back end of the
mounts higher. You can do this with a file also.

3) The simple solution. Sandwich a couple of 8mm washers under the rear
mounting bolts.

this Eldo had the dents ontop, but the PO's son had been popping
wheelies with it, too.

I have seen other Ambo/Eldo gas tanks with these dents ontop, also.
