95blazer Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Just looking for any opinions on this tank. I am considering purchasing one but would like to get some feedback first. So if anyone has had any experiences with them please let me know what you think. Thanks, Derek Quote
. Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 If your not that serious about the look of your shee when you have the tank on (I take mine off and on depending where I'm riding), then do a search function on here in the for sale or whatever and see if anyone still has their IMS for sale. With either tank your gonna need either a rox riser or an extended steering stem. Quote
Wallynut Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I don't know anything about the Clarke tank, but I just got the IMS 5.6gal one. It is butt arse ugly and you do have to cut off the strips that would come back and wrap around your original tank(I'm sure the Clarke is the same). I have an '03 banshee with the higher bars, no problem clearing the tank lock to lock steering wise. Also not real impressed with the exposed bolt holes on the sides of the radiator shroud, not used and not hiden by the bigger tank. Otherwise having extra gas is a good thing on the trails. I've got a race cut front plastic on it's way so I don't have to cut my original. From some pics I've seen after purchasing mine, the Clarke looks nicer. Quote
J.J. Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 With either tank your gonna need either a rox riser or an extended steering stem. Damn I hope not! I've ordered the "natural" colour, hopefully it's transparent so I can see the fuel level. Not too sure how it's gonna look on a white shee though... Any photo's will be most welcome! Quote
decon Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) Any photo's will be most welcome! yes please, i would like to see a 5 gallon tank, i might consider getting one. I already seen the 4 gallon tank, doesnt look half bad. Edited July 30, 2004 by dEcon Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 I run the clarke tank with tag T2s and do not need any rizer,well maybe the 1/4in from the mounting kit helps Here is some pics Quote
J.J. Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 FORMULASPEED, thanks for the pics man, really appreciate it. Quote
decon Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 (edited) I dont like that look. ill just get an IMS 4 Gal. thanks anyway. Edited July 31, 2004 by dEcon Quote
Wallynut Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 I can't post a pic, but will warn you that the IMS is VERY ugly compared to the Clark. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 the IMS 4 gallon dont look all to bad, and the clark and IMs 5 gallon look the same cept for the holes, but hell u cant put graphics on em anyway Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Do you mean the graphics arent cut to fit or nothin sticks to it? Because I purchased stickers and spelled out Banshee were the fenders would go an they didnt last 1 day. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 they dont fit, and they wont stick, i had stickers on mine, and for some reson the bastards would nver stick so i said f*ck it, i later found out, i belive boonman told me, that the tank "breaths" so nothing will stick to it Quote
nater006 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Yup, found out about that when I tried painting my CR500 tank and it all bubbled up. They *do* make sticker kits with pinholes in them all over, like the one that came off my CR500, which seem to work well on tank plastic. I got the 5.6gal IMS tank (yellow). Seems to be nice, just need a 1" spacer for the bars now. But yeah, as everyone else mentioned.. its fugly. Quote
