    I am looking at putting a steering damper on my 2008 TXC 450. I have an IMS tank on it. Looking at the Motosportz damper it looks like it won't fit with the IMS tank. Anybody else using a damper with the IMS tank? If so, what one?

    Thanks.

    It will fit, it just needs a different frame clamp and damper arm. Kelly can hook you up no problem if he knows.

    Here is mine on my 2008 TXC250.

    We are slightly backed up today from taking a few days off to enjoy some spring break with the kids. Working through it all now. But as you can see, yes it will work, but sometimes needs some help depending on how your tank fits (they vary greatly.)
