Aftermarket Tank Ims Or Clarke Or?

[tony06400ex]

What is the best after market tank for a 06 ex. I want a 4.3 or 5.5 because I do a lot of long hauls.

I"ve had both and the clarke was my choice.

Rico, did all the factory plastic fit back on or was there mods that you had to do to make it fit?

I have use an IMS when I go on long rides. But if I had to choose again I would go with a clark. It looks nicer and is holds more gas.

I got the ims tank and I bought it cause I got a good deal on it and it is nice
but if you are buying one brand new I would get clarke they are cheaper and look like they are less space taker upers:eek2:

I've had both, I prefer the Clarke 5.5 gallon, and you don't crack your nutz. Just remember you don't have to fill it up all the way if your trying to save weight.

I have a clark tank on mine, and no modifications had to be made to the factory plastic. Also in my opinion Clarke tanks are better than IMS ( on 400ex's ) because you don't have that huge top sitting in front of you.

Thank guys for all the input. I think I will go with the CLARKE after all the good things I've heard now. This Is my first 400, any other must haves for this machine?
