Dear all, I just got my big IMS-6.6 Gallon gas tank ! It really is big ! First mounting tests showed that my handlebar collide with the upper side (near gas cap) of the gas tank. Is this a known problem for this tank, or am I doing something wrong here...? cheers Gijs.

Gijs, You might try a set of handlebar risers. ZenMotorcycles carries a machined set made by Eagle Mfr. http://www.zenmotorcycles.com/ These will give you an extra .7 inch clearance. That and a little rotating of the bars should get you the needed room under the bars. Mark --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "gijs_dutch" wrote:

Something must be wrong. I have the big tank with CR-HI bars and have a good .75" of clearance between the bars and the tank Pat G'ville, NV [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
