Foxx4beaver, I was lookin at that tank on eBay and actually wanted to order that next week. But I looked at it more and than looked at the 88-04 kx500 tank and it is the exact part number as their 88-89 kx250 tank. So it looks like their tryin to give people the kx500 tank either way.   :cry:  I really want the 250 tank and can't even find a used one

good catch....they do seem to be a rare item....if you wanted to spend a fortune on an aluminum one,then I'd try husky333's option...other than that,just keep looking,even if you have to buy a whole junked 89 just for the tank.

have you actually tried contacting Clarke,Acerbis,or IMS to actually "talk" to someone?...who knows,one of them may even be able to point you in another direction.

Last night before i realized the part numbers were the same, i emailed them..
Dear enduroshack,

Hello i am interested in this tank for my 99 kx500. Research on a kx forum site. Says the 89 KX250 Tank is a direct bolt on. the 89 tank KX250 is slimmer and shorter than a stock KX500 tank. The picture on your listing is MY same tank (Not the tank i want) So is this tank the slimmer and shorter one (not so tall)
From what i understand 89 was the smaller tank but not 88. Thanks i cant wait to hear back from you! Josh

Thanks foxx! I'll have to try and contact Clarke,Acerbis,or IMS tonight and see what i can find out and i'll let you guys know. i'll consider the other options too.  Looks like i got some homework!

Foxx4Beaver:
again good eye,I never even looked until you just mentioned it.
And I'd be willing to bet those guys understood your question...I would have to think that they're probably just hoping to make a sale...I could be wrong,but that's my guess.

Good luck either way...if I see one for sale in the future,I'll PM you.

Husky333, how much is £250 ?      I may be interested how much total in USD for tank and shipped to U.S
