I did try to include it in the raffle prizes as well as Husqvarn USA double wide red and white EZ up but both ideas were squashed by the people who had to return them

That is a beauty! Are they going to make them for the 08 and 09's ?

Also note the purpose of the hump is not to hold more gas, but to accommodate the Dry-Brake mechanism which goes down 2 inches into the tank.

On the stock tank the backbone hump is right there, so to accommodate the Dry Brake P3 had to go up!

The good thing is it does not interfere with rider movement on the bike nor do you notice extra high weight, because that's the fuel the bike drinks first!

This tank is good for.... 2009 and 2010 WR/CR 125s
and 2010 TXC/TE/TC 250s

Also note carbon fiber and kevlar production tanks are just over 3 gallons.

Ok, I'm back in love with it!

Very nice looking!!!

Watch out for your man Junk. That looks like it could hurt

The black one is no doubt much sexier, but I'm liking the seeing the fuel level. Note the fuel line in the pic.....

For me seeing the fuel is no big deal. I fill it up, run a race and then drain it afterwards to calculate fuel mileage for each HS track I run.

I'm all about the bling!!!

Lindsay has spoken to IMS and they have no intentions of building tank for 125/250F bikes. Hall's and P3 are still looking into building a plastic tank. Once Lindsay get's a new 250F that he can have for a length of time, he will work on refining the tank. He wants to drop the tank down on each side using a crossover and a remote fuel pump pick up to boost capacity. Glenn Kearney has been using tank #2 on his TC250 for last couple GNCC's.

And it is a beautiful looking tank. Just can't justify $1200 price tag.

I will just have to stop for gas.

Those things are going for $1200 ?

I thought they were supposed to be about half that?

Things change I guess.

I saw a picture of a 125 at the ISDE this year with a similar type gizmo. Hopefully it works well. Husky really needs to address this gas tank issue. Off road bikes need 3 gallons -- minimum.

Kelly,

Keep us in the loop on that "water tank". I was also looking at doing something in aluminum but if you are going to make the splash, I am more than willing to support the cause.

If you go that route maybe the unused rear top engine mount tabs could be a mounting point for the auxillary tank.

The price is so high, because it is so labor intensive with all the complex shapes on the tank top and bottom. Lindsay said he can do a Japanese tank for less because they have simpler shape. I didn't get my tank for free, but did get a discount (not much) for all the leg work I did helping Lindsay.... getting an extra stock tank to mock up on, bringing my bike 6.5 hours one way to his shop, taking my bike to the prototype company to see if they could do a CAD molding program and more. I was at the final price, but could see all the time and work Lindsay has to put into building a tank. I'm happy with my 2.9 gal tank and trying to be part of the solution to the problem.

Yes Norman, your help has been tremendous and I do realize all the labor that is involved in building those custom tanks. I just wish, like the rest of you, there was a cheaper alternative.
