Anybody got that bigger tank from em? I was thinking of getting it for my 400ex but I`d like to see some pics of it first. They only have the 1 pic of it, it don`t look bulky from the pic but it could from others. Thanx guys!

I dont have a pic but i have seen one.It dont look bulky at all.Looks just a little different than a stock tank on top,not much.The side is what looked odd to me.Just cause its red i guess.

Hey I just got one the other day and put it. Its the same width where your knees hug the tank. its just sits taller. How they get the 5.5 gals is by removing the stock black panels. The reason u have to use stock plastic is that the front is mounted to the side of the tank. Dont have pictures yet, TO much Crap on my plate but I will try.

here are some picts. note that the tank is the brighter red and the fenders are the faded red time to get some new plastic. IF u get the Clark tank remember u can only use stock plastic. Unless u want to cut the aftermarket stuff.

I have the tank on my quad. I have several pics of it. My tank was black but I put the White Bros graphics kit on it.

Do you get the same amount of gas on reserve?

I think the reserve is more, but I don't have any numbers on exactly how much it is. The tank is huge though, I've only hit reserve once, when I was TRYING to run it out, just to make sure it worked. It did. :D

I have a black one for sale. I had a small hole in it on one of the seams. It has been patched and cannot be seen once tha plastic is on. Asking 100 plus shipping

Out of curiosity, how did it get a hole in it?:confused:

I purchased it with the hole in it. Its not a hole really. When it is molded there are parting lines in the tools giving you seams on the tank. One of the seams leaked.


They are around 165 - 175 price range
