ClimbAnyHill Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm trying to decide what would look & work good before ordering an oversized tank. How many gallons & in what color are you running? Obviously the bigger tank holds more but I don't like the look. Show me some pix. Here's what I've been looking at. Thanks. 4.0 Gal by IMS, they also have 5.6 Gal. Just Gas Tanks 5.5 Gal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 5.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackbanshee Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 the 5.5 is ugly + you have to cut your fenders 4 is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahammer Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 i agree i wish ims would have used a darker grill surround to show the tank off better blends in with the grill.. im on the fence of a new tank as well 4 gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftdT4R Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 4.0 IMS tank. This was my first and only chovie, they mount up nice, and give you a few extra gallons, nice for long trail rides. You will need bar risers though. I have renthal stock bends, and they rubbed the tank. Throw on 1" bar risers, and your set to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 The yellow 5.6 style comes does come in black, also blue but they'll special order any color $194. I like how it comes with gas tank vents! Wish IMS had the vents or do they? Then again it prob take away from it's capacity. Don't like the idea about cuttin fenderst though but I need that for the long Glamis runs. Thanks LiftdT4R for the info on the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 How many gal does the alum tank hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddsheee Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Is there any seat modifications needed for the larger tanks? If not does it still set in there correctly? It just looks like it affects it. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 The aluminum tank supposedly holds 6 gallons. I havent verified it, but it looks big enough to hold 6. The tank is a "lance schoonmaker" and is the same tank as Dean Sundahl ran (not literally Dean's tank :wink: ) on his Baja banshees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Yeah....I have a 5.5 that I've been almost trying to give away...(read, almost...no, it's not free). I had it sold to a guy in Canada...but, refunded his money when I found out all the hoops I had to jump through to get it there...just wasn't worth it in the end.... It's been painted, and looks to be the same design as Bill's... Yeah, it's an oil tanker alright..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 4.0 Gal by IMS, they also have 5.6 Gal. Just Gas Tanks 5.5 Gal. Post more pics!!! I need a larger tank also. First trail ride, I ran out of gas after only about 35 or 40 miles. Next Arkansas trip will be in spring. We ride 80 miles or more sometimes, before making it back by camp for fuel. I will have to have a bigger tank and/or carry a gas can!! Want something that looks (and fits) right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I will post you a pic of mine....You would want to strip the paint and/or repaint it. I'm simply not going through the hassel. But...I'll give you a killer deal on it, though.... PM me if you're ineterested....it's boxed and ready to go, and I can ship out today.
