    Sales potential of a unit like that would probably be higher than 200 units, regardless of what Husky does for 2013, figuring that it would be able to fit over ten model years of WR / CR 125, 250, 300 and 360’s.

    Need to show them some of the pictures of the unit GK used on his 2009 GNCC bike.

    BTW- They also make a raiser like mine that you can use on a stock Husky tank.

    I have never seen any pics of GK 2009 . Wonder how much his tank held?

    Good price on that riser too.

    Here's what I came up with years ago. Gets me almost a gallon extra. I'm in the process of fitting it to my 2012 WR125. This tank was made for a 97 YZ125. Tee'd to carb and vent runs up and tees to gas cap. The fuel is used and refills automatically. I do put a shut off on it in case of a problem. I HATE the large tanks due to me liking to ride up on the tank while doing enduro's. tank 3.jpg tank 1.jpg

    I think theres soo much universal dissatisfaction with the current options from IMS for Husky 2 strokes that if you or someone marketed that you would be on your way to making some serious daniro - lol

    How is the Tank for the 2012 CR 125 I saw some where it was only 2 gallons
    I want to build a new 2012 CR150 but need 3 gallons to make the 45 mile loops at a National
    Stock 250 2 stroke tank is 11 quarts and with my dry break riser I get almost 3 gallons which works out fine for both my 2008 CR 125 and my 2011 CR300

    The IMS tank for the new bikes isn't too bad. It's a hair long and makes the seat hard to get on, but it's passable and give you right at 3 gallons.

    thread revival i know but youd think that now after the 13s are out(and no change again!) that someone would be able to make a decent aftermarket tank. surely after yet another year model release that the tank would fit(not to mention how many different models it could be made to fit-250/300, older 4ts, 125/360s possibly etc etc.) that itd be worthwhile to someone to make one! does my head in that it hasnt happened yet & that its apparently not financially viable. seriously, how many thousands of these bikes are out there & still being bought(and will continue to be bought new for the next couple of years)! plus theres every chance that the 14 wont change either but thats a different thread topic. dont wanna sound like a total whinger but its just incomprehensible to me. seems like $ just sitting there going to waste. cant fathom the logic of sitting on hands till a new model comes out, $ down the drain it would seem to me. but hey what do i know

    UPDATE PEOPLE! I EMAILED CLOCKWORK BACK WITH AN UPDATE TO THIS THREAD AND HOW IT IS STILL GENERATING INTEREST AND THAT THE 2013 BIKES REMAIN THE SAME AND THAT IF THEY BUILT A NICE TANK IT WOULD ALSO FIT OLDER 125-AND 360. THEY EMAILED ME BACK AND SAID NOW THEY MIGHT DO IT. THEY WOULD NEED SELL 150 TO BREAK EVEN. WHO'S IN?I'LL BE NUMBER 1 CUSTOMER NOW WE NEED ANOTHER 149, COME POEPLE.

    Something like Glenn Kearney used back in 2010, only plastic, would be cool. I heard it held 4 gallons.
