Thats just how it goes with any bike... Just work with it a minute and and you will get it...

are all bikes like this I thought mine was messed up or something, as you can tell I have never worked on a streetbike before, have worked on many dirtbikes, four wheelers and cars but never a streetbike, just a little intimidating at first I guess, or maybe it is because the darn thing isn;t paid for yet that makes it suck so bad, oh well just don't want to strip the holes out thanks again

Dont force the bolts. They are a liittle tricky to line up but once they are lined up the bolts should go in with very little effort. Try picking the tank up a little and visually lining up the bolts.....
