is this really just a POS? i mean, it's such a PITA to put that thing on, that it defeats the entire purpose. i have to sit on the tank and put enough pressure to compress the rubber molding to insert the pins. it's really freaking tight to put the pins in.

did anyone shave the rubber molds to it's a bit easier to insert the pins?
 
i had this on my 1k and i didnt have any problems like you are saying.
 
well, i finally got to pass by my buddy's place, and compared it which his sato tank quick release. turns out sato sent me dowels that are 2mm shorter.

Did you buy them directly from Sato for $43 or is there another cheaper place???

eh... directly from SATO. I really couldn't find a cheaper place, and I didn't want to go to Kyle Racing (long story). Plus the tax was not enough to offset getting it pretty fast from Sato directly (I'm in the Bay Area). I got it like in 2 days?

It holds. Remember, you gotta have a racer/trackday whore mentality here as you want minimize the trouble of taking parts on and off to fix a problem when at the track/race. It's popular among the track/race crowds.
