IMS 2.5 Gal Auxiliary Fuel Tanks HQV 701

Overall it is a good product. Tanks are sturdy. I have had some problems with a leaky tank but IMS has been good to work with so far. Install was a lengthy process that took a little time. Follow the directions and take your time. Before you start the work run the bike until it stalls then drain the main tank as best as you can with a siphon or some other method. Otherwise youre likely to get gas everywhere like I did. Installation does involve drilling into the main tank. I used permatex seal and gasket(fuel resistant) grey. It seamed to help when I had to fix the seal between petcock and tank. nnAfter a years worth of ownership Im not confident I would purchase them again. Even on long cross country ride with a handful of fuel stops 200+ miles apart where these tanks shine you could easily keep a roll up 2/3 gallon fuel bladder packed away for 1/3 the price and not have an extra 25 pounds hanging off the front of your bike. Not because it is a bad product but because the problem can be solved for less money and without the head ache of a potentially leaky tank. nnOnce you receive them check that the hardware mates up flat against tanks.
