Does a 2017 need the beefier tank bolts?

Hi,
New 690 owner, impatiently waiting for delivery :)
I'm going to be setting the bike up for off road touring, before
I get too far into racks and gas tanks I'm confused as to
whether the weak tank bolt problem was solved for the newer
bikes.
Should I replace the bolts and add the Rally Raid reinforcer on
a 2017?
Thanks

Not sure, but I would do it anyway!
My I suggest these vs. the rally raid.

Great guy to deal with and has a few other goodies for the the
690's! I have the enduro luggage rack, heel guards and the
tank bolts - all top notch stuff

I just replaced them on my 2017. Comparing the stock bolts of my
bike to earlier years and they look identical. Not saying they
are just as weak but they don't appear to be built any
differently. I'd replace them just to be safe.
Also, I agree with truck11. I bought mine from Perun Moto.
They're a great product and were awesome to deal with. They also
have awesome step by step instructions on their website!
