IMS 4.5 Gallon Tally!

Has anyone contacted, and got a reply from, IMS about all the ill fitting tanks? Just curious is the response will be "we had a batch that was out of tolerance and we'll replace it with a proper fitting tank" or will be "there is a natural variance due to our molding method so your tank is within tolerances and you'll just have to make it fit best you can". I don't think my natural tank has shipped yet (they told me because they were waiting on a backordered batch of secondary air pumps), so if having them hold off and my waiting for a future batch will get a better fitting tank with the fitment issues fixed, I'm more than willing to do that.
[Edit: a couple folks replied on ADVrider and it sounds like a some tanks are installing with no issues. Good to hear. I guess I'll stay on the tank list and hope I get one of the "good fitters" and if not, wrestle with it then.]

My black tank and seat fit perfectly but both rear studs where the tank mounting bracket attatches were out of alighnment and i had to dremel the holes in the tank bracket in ovals.

I had to do the same for the front of the 3.1g. The fit and finish seams better on the 4.75g.

I'll post up as soon as I have a talk with IMS over the issues that have been happening, and hopefully will have some kind of response to give you guys.

WORD OF NOTE: Anyone who HAS NOT talked to IMS yet, and are waiting on their tanks, call IMS @ 1-800-237-9906, and ask for Chris. He will take down your info and process your order. HOWEVER...if your name is NOT on the list, you can't order a tank on the group deal. Name HAS TO BE ON THE LIST in order to get the group deal!

Hey Wolf a little clarity please. It was my understanding that this group buy would go on for a little while longer and that we had some time before we had to sign up. Is that still the case?

Your name's on the list mord. They never even asked when I phoned in and mentioned the forum discount. Just gave it to me.

Deadline is July. I was told that if names aren't on the list then they wouldn't be able to get the deal.

Yeah, why is that??

You are my example, Shewolf! I want to be just like you, & i hang on every word you say!

How about if we DON'T see you in a bikini, OK?

..only if shewolf will model it. I think she should change her avatar to herself in a provocative pose! But maybe i could find an old bikini laying around here somewhere that would fit me.. hmm. good idea, John! I'll start working on my new avatar!

Thanks for the info.....Still procrastinating!!!

Boldly going where no forum has gone before, and possibly where no thread can survive...might even take down the whole site...

I couldn't help myself...

Hey, isn't that Ed in the middle?

Why yes, yes there is! Welcome to the IMS tally thread. Who has the biggest tank? Just a bit or randomness there...must be leftovers from the full moon.

Called IMS-Jack said my Blue tank shipped 5/13 and is on the Brown truck for delivery today!

You know if they don't pry them loose after every ride they stay that way.

Ow....I know I hijacked this thread. But it's all in good fun and I'm not gonna get mad about hijacking my own thread.

The last 5 who paid through GPS shipped out today. Meredith's white tank arrived today also. Had to squeeze my hand inside because none of the lines were hooked up.

The Post office guy delievered my tank today....

POST PICS!!!

Your item was misrouted. The error has been corrected and every effort is being made to deliver it as soon as possible.

Apparently even leaving my packages at the neighbors is getting too difficult for the morons at my post office.

Not sure what you want pics of.... the postman? the brown box or the tank?




P.S. Sorry I don't have any pics of bicycle guys....

That's ok. I was referring to the pics of the tank on the bike when you get em.

Rabbit, I did not receive any sort of shipping notice and have not received a tank yet. Can you confirm mine is one of those shipped?

I'll see what I can do when the time comes... Today I am working on my lowering kit.
