According to the JB Weld web site, the Kwik is about half as strong as the regular.
The site has other interesting nuggets. They do not recommend that you eat JB Weld. And they do not recommend that you use it inside the combustion chamber of your engine. Lawyers, lawyers ...
The stresses on the tank bracket are pretty large. I've forgotten exactly how the tanks screw down on the 2000 models, but if it is possible to put 3 or 4 thicknesses of rubber sheeting (like inner tube rubber) between the tank bracket and the TM cross-frame that it bolts onto, it would probably help.
