IMS though they have had a little problem with surface finish. Mine came kinda rough. Also, several people have been sent the incorrect petcock and have had to either wait for a replacement or modify theirs to work.
Even with the small problems I'd definatly do it again. Having close to 5 gallons is so much better. I ride 100 miles a day and instead of having to get fuel everyday I can now get it every other day. Sounds like a little thing but it is a big thing to me.

Clarke Manufacturing at tel., 503-829-2156 makes a beautiful piece of plastic engineering. I bought the translucent see thru tank and never have to guess how much fuel is left. The capacity is 4.1 gallons and the stock # is item1438 :ride: :applause:

rocky- hey brother you wouldn't happen to have a picture of that translucent tank would ya? i'm planning on getting a clarke tank and that sounds pretty cool. i'll probably go with the suzuki yellow but i'd still like to see that.
