  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anyone have an IMS tank or Acerbis tank for TE/SMR (fuel injected) to show pics?

Theyre web site is too vague. We were looking into getting the next size up from the 1.9 gal. They say its a 2.9. They also say the fuel pump needs to be relocated. Anyone have pics of this, with the shrouds on as well?

:cheers:

You question has some missing bits as well. I will assume you are asking about this part of the imsproducts.com site.

above is some tank info: I didn't know for what bike either..... to say anything... specific... so I searched "gas tank"... and got pretty much for any bike that has a tank- pick your model fom the ones listed.

I believe efi 250 (ans soon to be 310) models with the XLITE motor you change the location of the pump- NOT on the 08-10 big motors- same location... Aqualine is another whole deal... but theres a report on that too.
 
:doh: Sorry, maybe I tipped a few too many back when I wrote that :cheers:
Well I currently have a 08 TE 250 and was looking at a friends 2010 510SMR and we both conclude to getting a bigger tank. Apparently Husky makes a larger factory tank but its a 2.4? Which is not much more then stock and the cost is more then a larger IMS tank. IMS seems to be a great brand that has had little "bad feed back". The IMS tank claims on theyre site that if you buy theirs you will need to relocate the fuel pump. :excuseme:

My friend and I conclude that we do not like a lot of design things with the 610 models. One main thing being where they located the fuel pump, on the right side of the bike hanging out like a sore thumb waiting for some knuckle head to come by and unplug your gas line and watch the gas squirt all over your hot bike...:thumbsdown:

So we were just trying to see what they were talking aboot and since they have yet to respond to our emails sent weeks ago I wanted to see what they were talking aboot.

Thanks for everyones input and pics thus far :thumbsup:
 
Yeah so one last thing for now... We want something that we dont have to fart around with as far as the tank shrouds. We want to unbolt the stock tank, recycle it, bolt the new larger tank on and bolt the stock shrouds right on and rip some wheelies! Ive noted some creative-ness with farting aound making the stock shrouds fit the larger tank and I think thats great! I wonna just bolt and rip. For $300 I shouldnt have to use my brain power:bonk:
 
http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13897 This is what I fear they mean. I think its a bad idear! Why not have the pump mounted between the frame like the stock position and run rubber or plastic internal pick up tubes from the pump? I mean its not rocket science... Putting the pump on the outside of the bike is not smart for a number of reasons.

Second, note I can not wait to get one of these on my bike and "see how much better handles with all that weight down low" :thumbsup:

Lastly thanks HUSKYnXJnWI Your a stud, this is exactly what Iam speakin aboot :cheers:

I'm pretty sure the tank would be the same for both bikes and would be the 3 gallon. The pump mounts in the center like the stock tank and there is no mounts to put your stock shrouds on, the tank becomes the shrouds.

Here's a thread about putting shrouds on the IMS tank.

I took the liberty of removing the absolute IP in the link, the thread was also referenced in a slightly incorrect format where people clicking on it would not be logged in.

If possible it would be fantastic not to post absolute IPs cause they will be dead links in the future if/when they change. :thumbsup:


(I will go search for some more of those)

Compare the IMS tank on nqjim's bike to the Clarke tank on oregonsage's. The lines are waaaay better on the Clarke, they follow the bike and look like professionls made it. However you can put the tank shrouds on the IMS. Then you guys who own them say well the IMS weight is down low and thats a far better tank. Why is this not the same for the EFI bikes? I mean lord, seriously. You guys are gonna make me fabricate my own out of aluminum I swear... Show how quality is done.:professor:
 
I shouldn't do it but I have been whoring up posts concerning these gas tanks so Iam probably combining them. None the less the points are still fitting. If you go with any of these tanks they all have down sides. Either you hang out your fuel pump in the open, you have to destroy and glue on your tank shrouds or you get no shrouds and have a hideous tank touching your junk all day. As my Team Oregon instructor would say "Your not lookin good if you have a ugly tank touching your junk"

I am fine with my junk and what it touches-

just ride!!! and worry less about what my junk and legs cover

YEA- I took the bait- but you "went there" so I figured what's the harm... not gonna just sit back and say "oh no he didn't!?"

My bike looks fine- yours will too:thumbsup:

Thanks for your input. Not to dis but yes your bike looks fine. If you had some shrouds on it would look rad! Your not a good enough salesman bro.

Also thanks for being big enough to take a joke and play along with it :thumbsup:
 
I am not trying to sell anything... it is what it is- known the downfall of these particular tanks for a few years and just accepted it. Not trying to glorify mediocrity... I dealt with: "You have choice A: run out of gas or B: get the IMS 3gallon" and made my move.

Now, If you want to make me a perfect aluminum tank between 2.5 and 3.5 gallons that uses schrouds, no issue with steering dampner instalations, is not overly wide, and by chance also looks good. I will do everything to sell those for you- I will rave about it and sell ton's with the beauty and craftsmanship that speaks for itself. Make one up and send it to me****************************************!!:thumbsup: PLEASE:popcorn:
