Aftermarket gas tank?
About the only complaint I have against my beloved KDX is the shape of the tank. I wish the tank was more flat and easier to get more weight forward on the bike during hillclimbs.
I understand that IMS makes an aftermarket tank. Does anyone else? Clarke? Does anyone have any pictures of the IMS tank? Their website does not show any pictures.
Thanks, Steve

Hummmmm I was hope'n they'd get closer to 4 gals. Comes in blk, nat, green, & white.
Stock 2.9,,, 3.6 that should be +/- 90 miles per tank, shouldn't it?
Looks like I'll have a natural one in the near future.
