CT1 Fuel Tank Hold Down Strap was created by pabdt

My bike didn't come with a hold down strap for the tank.   I want to make sure I have the correct tabs to attach to. 
Can someone look at this frame and see if anything is missing for the hold points of strap and I am curious the routing of it.  

I'm sure I can figure something out, but if I need to weld a tab on, want to do it now not after painted. Thanks.

Nothing is required to be added.  One end of the strap goes on the post, wrap it over the frame and tank tab, then back onto the same post.
