LiftdT4R Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 I run one on my '02, and I never noticed a problem with the bars hitting/rubbing the tank. I run renthal banshee bends, which "curve" up a little higher then some of the other bends, but I still have enough room. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Posted September 8, 2006 so anyone got a used IMS tank in blue for sale? Quote
LiftdT4R Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 so anyone got a used IMS tank in blue for sale? I picked mine up on here for $100 shipped from a guy that used it for one season. They are nice tanks, and they definately hold more gas then stock. I don't see them on here that much, did you try flea-bay? Here's a pic of mine on my bike with stock bars(which worked fine too), and missing the back fender. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Posted September 8, 2006 well i emailed ims and asked about the stem needing to be raised below is the email.... Hi Greg, No, in fact, when we make our tanks, they're made completely with stock components. However, you will have to trim the plastic to make it work. I've attached the instruction sheet so you have an idea of what is involved. Thanks!!
