Bigger tank available for '12/13's?
 
I am not finding anything in my searches. Anything out there yet?

I cant see on a 12/13 where they could expand the tank?

I hope they come out with something cause the stock tanks on the 12's are crap. The neck is flimsy and can be squeezed with your fingers out of round.....not to mention it gets pitted and leaks horribly.

Shrouds, like they do on the Hondas.

LOL I have a 6.5 Gallon tank on my XR650R, never worry about gas.

Clarke claimed on the phone with my dealer with me standing there they were working on a bigger tank *shrug* I emailed Clarke they said NO. I emailed Safari and they said not enough customers in Australia to make a shrouded tank.

I might recontact some of these people. I really would love a large tank, I don't race so having a 150 mile range would just be nice for tooling around the Forest. Right now I have the MSR Dromesdary bag 6L and it fits fine in my small Wolfman bags with 1.25 Gallons of fuel. Maybe I'll do a video to show sometime if the testing out in Moab goes well. That will give me around 98 miles, two bags 130 miles. Still though I rather have a shrouded tank.

I'd pay $500-$600 to have a huge tank. Justgastanks said the Clarke 3.2 I think it is might fit...but I'm not paying $$$$ for a little improvement.

I emailed IMS....there is no plan to produce any tanks for late model gassers was their reply....:(

bigger tank
 
Factory GasGas has a 12 liter tank. Its over 800 bucks, I'm sure that is not enough capacity.

Oddly enough that looks like a Clarke tank. Check out the cap?

This is what I had got from Justgastanks.com

Also, no ones a large tank like that one for the 2012 model.

Not sure if these fit the 2012

Ben

Now later on, can not find the email he said something just needed moved on the 2012's....*shrug* But is it worth the money for such little gain?

modette 03-22-2013 08:14 PM

I just emailed Ben at JustGasTanks, going to see if he will let me test fit the Clarke on my 2012 ;-)
