    Glad to see this is out, but I wish they'd have also come out with one at 2.5 gallons without those wings. The trees here are awfully close together and I know I'll be hitting a few.:eek:

    UPDATE: After talking with Jeff at Halls, I am now in line for a tank. It sounds like I just need to stop hitting trees but even if I do, there's a high confidence in this design:)

    Count me in for a new damper mount also!

    Glad to not be that guy that always runs out of gas on the next long ride!

    I'm in line for a black one as well, come up with something quick Kelly, I've got an event planned for the TXC in September and need the larger tank, but would love to have a stabilizer. What's the possibility of making a post that is threaded and has a sleeve to go around the tank mount pillar on the frame and replace the tank mount bolt? Then use that contraption as a post for the steering stabilizer. How bad does the distance from center of the pivot throw off the stabilizer's function?

    When I get the tank on I can figure out what to do. Should not be a huge ordeal / have some ideas from pix I was sent.

    I put in for an unnatural one, 3 gallon is perfect for my little world. Encouraging to finally have them available!

    I was talking to Scott Summers about the tank being vulnerable. He said it was nothing to worry as the handlebars would protect it. Don't know but it holds more fuel so I guess it serves the purpose.

    My black one showed up today. Looks AWESOME Very nice tank. I'll post some pix later today. Mine is for the TXC so it has the EFI hole covered and the petcock hole drilled.
