The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

Dude, brit, didn't you read my thread on IMS tanks being damn near impossibly to put on a gen-1 conversion, but the clarke only needs minimal mods. DON"T GET AN IMS FOR A GEN-1 CONVERSION!britincali wrote:hoofarted wrote:

For you guys with the Gen 3's running the 3+ gal aftermarket tanks, are you having to modify the tank in anyway for clearance? I'm still on the fence waiting to start converting and I've got a line an '05 CRF450 or an '03 CR250. I know I want to run a big tank and odds are I'll f'up a tank mod and would like to have as much clearance as possible. I'm leaning towards the Gen 3, but I could get the 450 a bit cheaper.
Speaking of tanks, is anyone other than GMX making an aluminum tank?

I had to mod my tank it was fairly simple to do. I used (Mister Heater) the propane heater to heat the whole bottom up then used a hammer to push it in where i needed. then stuck it under water to cool it. While still pushing.

the gen-3 250s are very simple to put an oversized tank on. Not sure about the gen-4 450, but with my gen-4 250 I would not even consider trying to put a desert tank on it! the stock tank alone requires over and hour of heat gun time and I popped a hole in 1 oem tank even.
the gen-3 250 is a MUCH easier bike to convert than any 4 stroke chasis.

I had an IMS on a Gen 3 that had already been modded. It was still rubbing on the head and head stay.
I couldn't get it to stop leaking at the petcock.
I just put a Clarke on. It hit the spark plug and rad hoses.
Heated the general area and it's fine.
It clears the head stay and the head fine.
I like it.
