I have the big IMS tank also. At first I hated the clear and wanted one in black, after riding a lot, I have come to appreciate the ease of telling how much fuel is left, even while riding. Also my black tank,I always overfilled because I couldnt see very well the fuel level. But with the IMS tank I never overfill it. I really, really like having a lot of fuel along, I can ride over three hours. Does it look good? Not really, but it sure works good. Also with all that extra fuel, I can stop and give a quart or two to guys that are out of fuel.
Timbowe, sorry for bidding against you on that tank, but I wanted it for my next kx500.
