Title: New Tank, and Graphics
Post by: silverlake250r on April 02, 2014, 08:48:27 AM
I finally got sick of filling up so often, so I switched to an IMS 4 gallon that I had for a few years. I was hesitant to switch because some people's big tanks look way too big, but I think the cut that I did around the fullbores, and the carbon cover, really help minimize it. Big thanks to Jay at Fourwerx for all the great products that he offers us!

Looks very tasteful. Your right about some tanks looking big. Some tanks look like tumors to me. I'm really digging the new graphics

Thanks, I also switched to a scooped style hood, vs the NACA, because I thought the low profile hood and tall tank weren't a good match. However, I did like the NACA, made my bike a little different than most people.

That looks really good.  The tank blends right in like it was born that way.  The big letters on the graphics probably help proportion it as well.

I like it and I hate almost all big tanks. Quad looks great.

Looking good!  How's the fit and finish on those Project 321 caps?

The more I look at other ones, I think it's the Fullbores. Check out Doug's. His quad is the ultimate Lobo, and I'll never argue with the perfection of OEM fenders, but look at the way they are cut vs the Fullbores, close to the seat, and more of the tank is exposed.

Second to none, they are awesome. I have had 3. I will say, after a few years the carbon started to get a little funny on my first one, probably from the gas.

Good to know.  I love the look but was always worried about that inlay.  They do look cooler than the billet Cascade Innovations caps I run.

I think they may have changed something with the inlay because this one is 2 years old and still looks new.

Sweet! I'm excited to see your build. I bet you don't know, but back when you parted out your old purple one, I bought your rear shock off you, it was on my 88 back in 2008 or 2009.

Looks very good.  The way everything flows you can hardly tell it is oversize tank.  Nice job!

IMO you can barely tell the difference with that "big" tank on. IMS must have got some extra capacity somewhere else. Love the look I think i'll pick one of those up

It sticks way further down and forward, I had to re-route some stuff to make it fit.

I agree silverlake the plastics do make each look a lot different.
Looking good...
