08 IMS tanks shipping?

Yah, and if you are anything like your avitar on TT you are just another hippi jokester. Gotta love it eh Cheech.

Installed my tank, but it's not wanting to sit down on the frame right. If I pull the rubber post washers off it sit pretty nice, but with them in it sits up a little and the rear bumpers don't touch and there's a gap above the left rad wing.

Anybody else seeing anything like this?

With the 06 & 07 610 5 gallon tanks from IMS, a few had problems with them fitting right, solution was to position where it belongs & let it sit overnight, or in the sun IIRC. after a few hours it just slipped into place. Might be worth a try

I'll fill it with fuel and haul it off to the races Sunday morning and it will just have to get over it, because we're going racing!

Kelly, Any idea on a timeframe for the stabilizer mount to fit the tank? And have a great vacation.

Just received a tank and first off all I can say is I hope you guys that are installing them have throughly cleaned the inside out before using them.

I put my hand in the fuel pump hole and rubbed around and pulled out all kinds of little plastic particles that would clog a filter in no time in addition to what felt like some type of lubricant on the plastic used for the mold.

Is there a recommended method of cleaning? Soap and water and let dry? Something else?

I think Les told me he used mild soap (dish soap) and water.

If you put on graphics prior to fueling the tank and warm/cool the tank - they will stick better. Cleaning the outside of the tank well will help in this regard as well.

We have a set of '08 oem graphics and Les is thinking he can trim/shape them to look good. Still hoping for a nice set of graphics for this tank that are perforated for better "stiction".

Did he put graphics on? Any pics of them?

Try contacting PC, they did the ones Sumers uses on the new IMS tank and they have holes.

PC? Do you have a website. PC = personal computer - so finding them via google is not possible....

I think he meant PG graphics.

Maybe Precision Concepts?

This is what I meant was www.powersportgrafx.com

I'm talking to www.johnnysigns.com about it. I'm sending them some plastic to make dies for the '08 4T's. If you need some try them.

I'm also talking to www.ufoplasticusa.com about getting in some white side panels. If you wants some hit on them. They are the importer so there won't be any in the states until they bring it in.

Thanks for the heads up, mine's on the way and I may have forgotten to check it in all the excitement.

Did you look at the warning in black on top of the RR instructions. Clean before installing. Man we (men) get so excited we forget to read the instruction "busted" funny.

I did not install mine yet nor have I even opened the small package that contains the instructions and cap.

Thought I'd mention it since most that have documented the install process with photos and step by step instructions here and on TT never mentioned cleaning it first.
