SICK BOY Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 I started to install my new 5.6 gallon IMS tank today and have a few ?'s.I set the tank on (with out bolting it down all the way) and when I turn my bars they hit the tank. The bars are alum. renthal bars do these not work with the tank?Or is there a bar clamp that can raise my bars up a inch?The tank came with with rubber spacers for underneth that are thicker then the stock ones were,and with them installed the tank seems to sit to high.If I take the rubber spacers out the tank seems to fit perfect.Anyone that has put one of these on your info would be great,because it's pissing me off.

nater006 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 I am so glad you are asking... I have O'Neal bars and my 5.6gal IMS tank just arrived Friday (ebay special!). Should prove to be an interesting install... how's yours look, other than that? Real big and fugly? Quote
SICK BOY Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Posted March 23, 2004 I like the looks of the stock tank better,but more fuel is more important then looks. Quote
nater006 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Oh yeah, stocker is definitely better but fuel is important. Lookin at mine in the corner of my room here and its a monster. Lookin at the pics on their site, well.. it looks like they have some riser setup on the one in the pic. Their site is like half-broken anyway. Eh what can ya do. We tend to take long cross country trips and I'm now the most prone to run out of fuel..hehe. Not any more! Lemme know if you find anything out about the mounting.. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 take the spacers out, and just use the bolt with some big ass washers, worked for me, the tank dont look as great as stock, but hey it gets you from point a to point b, my bars hit it to, but never enough to really make me concerned untill i get into mx racing so i got rid of it, im sure you acn get a +1 stem and it'll be fine, have fun sick Quote
SICK BOY Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Posted March 24, 2004 Fro how long did you run your tank without the spacers?Did you ever have any problems with it like that?As for the bars hitting I'm going to order a Rox 2" spacer clamp. Quote
