Got the revised tank last night. Tossed it on real quick one time, then grabbed the seat, bam. The seat sits flush with the sub-frame rails. No more arching up. Used one hand. No more cussing! There's more clearance around the radiators and hoses. All the plastic lined up. I placed a few alluminum drain washers, about 5-6mm worth, under the front mount post rubber washer and it sits there w/o rocking, pads touch nicely at the rear for the subframe. Even full of fuel it should not hit the tangs for the seat etc. I picked up some turning radius too, not a lot but, some more. I might heat it up with a gun and get more. IMS will give you the correct process over the phone should you decide to try this. Gotta say it's a vast improvement over the first mold. I aint checked for volume but I'm sure it's on or about the mark. The FI revised version will be out soon. Thanks to Steve and Jack at IMS! Thanks boys!!!
That sounds great. Do you know if IMS will do anything for those of us who have an old one that makes putting the seat on a real chore?
Give the boys a call, I pitched a fit about the fit, plus my top clamp hit the left side so....give them a shout! Seat went right on, air filter might stay cleaner too as there's no more huge gap between the seat and sub-frame rails like it used to be.
