  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I've got a riding trip coming up in the spring with long isolated single track loops. I'm looking for more range out of the WR, however, I've read some good and some bad about the IMS tanks. Fitment on some has been lack luster. Would the 3.4 gallon tank or the 3.9 gallon tank fit better or worse.

Any WR guys have experience with IMS tanks? How about pictures of the tank on the bike? Is it a pain to ride with the bigger tanks on there? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Heath
 
This the 3.4 gallon. Fitmet is OK. If you want more pics let me know. I'm away from my PC right now but I can post more later. Its not a pain to ride, you get use to it pretty quick IMG_20170103_090941.jpg 20160915_185635_HDR.jpg
 
Thanks a lot for the pictures.

Do they make them in clear too? Like to see the level when on long rides to know when to head back for fuel.

The only thing I didn't like was the huge gap between the top tube of the frame and the tank. I could fit my fist in there. Seemed like that much gas sitting three inches higher would not be great for handling.
I installed a Lectron and get over 60mi with stock tank
 
Depending on how far you need to go, I pack gas. If its 60 miles or under you should be good with stock tank and reserve. I consistently get between 58-60 before having to put on reserve. So call it 58. Thats 23.2mpg. I'll carry an extra 2- 33ml MSR camp fuel bottles in my pack for long rides. (available at almost any camp goods store) Together they give you an extra half gallon of capacity or 11 miles of riding, depending on your throttle So if you are going over 70 miles, then you would want a bigger tank. If not, maybe think about packing some gas, it'll save you hundreds on a tank.
