Thanks for all the input.  I ordered the big fugly 3.7 gallon IMS tank.  We ride Hatfield McCoy trails and I'd like to have as much fuel as possible.  Lots of parts are arriving this and next week.  Hope to have the bike and tank at the vocational school by late next week.

I'll take lots of photos.

Progress made.  Got the tank.  Cut about 4 inches off the bottom then stepped up and cut another 4 inches above the spark plug.  Looking for scrap parts to graft in.  Then off to the local vocational school for welding.

I run the IMS 3.2 gal unit on my 2002 KX/500 hybrid.

I was able to clearance sparkplug and pipe side using a blow torch and a series of 18mm - 24mm deep well sockets. I would heat them up with the torch and melt and push the plastic up to deform it. It still is a bit tight fitting, and generally takes some patience on reassemble.

It still fits better and easier than my Acerbis 6.6gal tank on my XR650r...
