Screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice shame on me. I just relearned something that I already knew: IMS products are junk. The fit is terrible, from the footpegs that I bought from them years ago for a'91 CR500(I had to grind the crap out of them to get them to fit), to the'98 KX tank(s) that I bought (and returned because they were both different- and wrong), and the latest purchase which is another piece of crap. The disclaimer on the '03 KX250 tank says that because the tank is rotationally molded it is possible for the product to vary in dimension and capacity by up to 7%. 7%!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is like shooting for Mars and landing on Venus! Funny, Clarke tanks are rotationally molded and they fit very well and don't vary in size. The rear of this tank is slightly too tall and won't allow the seat to engage the tabs on the subframe. So what do I do? Send it back for another and hope that the next one is 7% smaller at the seat/tank junction? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Jury rig my bike to fit the tank? NOT!!!! IMS Products, if you are reading this, you can kiss my a**! I will strap Gatorade bottles full of gas on my body before I buy another IMS product.
