ahh...thanks for the reply...I guess. I didn't mean to suggest anything. I asked a question...the IMS tank isn't a DOT legal tank, or something like that, and there have been questions in the past about whether or not that might be a problem crossing certain borders. The see thru version is particularly "obvious" as opposed to the opaque ones. Have you ridden a KLR to TDF with one of these tanks? If so did you have any problems Thanks Joe Joe> > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "rockiedog2" wrote: > > > > Long shot question here... > > Has anybody ridden a KLR to Tierra del Fuego with the IMS tank that you can see thru? I am interested in whether or not the tank might be a problem when going thru customs/inspections or with cops looking for an excuse. There are plenty of beaucratic nightmare stories from down there... > > thx Joe > > > > Isn't transparency what everyone strives for these days? Or do you mean to suggest that because a narc or customs agent can see that you have nothing hidden in your translucent tank, he might now have cause to wonder what might be stashed in the opaque tanks on your buddies' bikes? If he saw "Easy Rider", he's going to wonder anyway.
