The IMS tanks are in the range of $420 to $450, weather you buy it locally (Rage Racing) or import them directly yourself from IMS or Pro Cycles.
I would however, if I may, suggest you get a "clear" tank, and not one of their colored ones (black, blue or yellow)

yep the one on TM is a natural............have just negotiated my job back after a 10 month break so might wait a couple of pays before pickin one up

hey colin! been a while aye mate
no bftp bikes atm, so do a bit of lurking in these adv threads hehe
great to hear you getting a mighty dr! great bikes allround
and much improved with the mods you speak of
the seat is well worth attn to...but youll find out that real soon hehe

[Bikemad]

howdy Eddie.........yep been keen to get back on the dirt for a while now but feel i'm a little too fragile now days to be piloting a motox bike so this is a good compromise.........have been looking at the sargent seat but funding a little low at present
do you get out on adventure rides down your way much?

[NordieBoy]

not one of their colored ones (black, blue or yellow)

Or white.

About $300us from justgastanks.

sargent or corbin seat would be real good, altho not cheap
others on here will know how good they are and which is best
in just using a doubled up sheepskin hehe
seems ok for about 5-600kms
cheapest mod is to get an upholsterer to remove seatcover
add an inch of foam to each side and an inch accross the top and
stretch orig cover over again...nice and frugal!

been doing a few rides down here, and central north island etc
adventure ridings a good compromise between trail and road
lotta fun mate!
hope to catchup with you on your dr soon bro....
