    I am in the process of sending it to IMS via a representative for review and inspection. I don't want to muddy the waters anymore with pictures or anymore commentary. That's the reason that I toned down my original post. I was very upset to start with and made some unfair accusations / assumptions as to the quality of their product. I don't really feel that way and am trying to resolve the issue privately. Thanks, Jason

    I don't think you were out of line. IMS has never been real good with customer service it is OK to tell the truth.

    I have had several IMS tanks that were defective and were replaced and some were not. A tank melted because they tried using the same tank for multiple models(2000 or 2001 125 pipe too close), shroud inserts spinning inside the tank(very common for several years), and tanks cracking due to "lack of talent."

    Your choice if you want to post pics or not, for whatever reason.

    That $385 is at today's exchange rate, note the list price also includes Aussie GST tax. Can someone from downunder let us know what your goverments cut of the action is. I would be ready to buy a Husky tank like this.

    FYI, another broken tank, this time a crack on the bottom. I heard the first batch made may have issues....:confused::excuseme:It was on a friends bike and the guy at IMS told him they were having issues with the first run for the 08 tanks. :eek:

    Naa. If anyone would be making the bigger tanks for Husqvarna.

    It would likely be Acerbis

    Here's a company that makes tanks for a lot of bikes but not Husky. Pic of one on a WR250..

    There are rumors. Fingers crossed. They make great products. Guys at Dakar use their tanks.

    Ive been hitting up Aqualine for 5 years now for a Husky tank. They are slowly realizing the brand is growing. Worth sending them emails.
