Justintoxicated Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 do they make an oversized tank that you can still put the front plastic over it to keep it looking stock??? 494322[/snapback] If you can come up with a way to increase the size of the tank and do this let me know. Quote
Wallrat Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 The Clarke one looks more like the stock plastics than the IMS (still have to cut tho): Quote
Polish Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 i wish there was a way to keep the stock tank............cut the bottom out, and lower it, and somehow weld new plastic on...........there is some room to at least get a gallon x-tra between the top of the head.......and the bottom of the tank..............hmmmmmmmmmmm............that would be a sweet idea Quote

Dead Op Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Ims 5.6 gallon tank, I know it's purple but for 50 bucks how can't you buy it! Quote
chris642 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Posted April 19, 2006 Sorry to dig up this old post, but is there anyway to paint one of these and it last at least a season or two? 482954[/snapback] Dont count on it lasting, i painted the natural tank on a CR 80 and it eventually bubbled, they say this is due to the tank "breathing". If you notice on dirtbike graphics that are applied to the tanks they are slotted to allow air to pass through. Quote
swag Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 i bought a ims 5.6 gal tank for mine and sold my tank cover on e-bay. but did i f@#k up there. it absolutly looks like a big yellow turd. ruined the whloe look of my bike. i hate it.....but i can go forever on a tank full. still i think the oversize tanks look like trash. just my opinion.
