Here we go again. I was definitely feeling more comfortable today. Main tanks don't bother me. Deco bottle is still dangling, need to do something with the lower attachment. Maybe a tighter bungee?
Here's what I did with the main tank. Shortened the lower attachments by 2 inches as we have discussed, it's basically almost 0-length now. The tanks are harder to put on, but doable. Moved the tank bands up by 1.5 inches or so to compensate for shortening the attachments. Valves are still facing out, and the attachment is about 1 inch towards the back of the valve (towards the rails).
Here's what I did with the deco bottle. Lower attachment on a 6-inch bungee, moved the attachment up to be positioned about 1.5 inches above the main tank bands, as per Andy's suggestion. The neck bungee is like in the Jill Heinerth / Jeff Loflin video, on a short bungee with quick links.
I kept the extra left-side bungee to see the difference. Without the bungee, front of the tank hangs quite a bit.
After looping the bungee around the valve, front is snug, the bottom hangs, although not as badly as before.
Here's the left side without the deco bottle:

Here's the position of the SPGs:
What do you think?
