Stabilizer, gas tank and bars

Hello,

Well I finally purchased the Scott's stabilizer. But it looks like it is not going to fit with the Clarke 3.9 gallon tank.
Also, I have Renthal bars, meaing I need to remove the cross bar.

1) Does anyone know for sure if the IMS 3.7 ot Zip-Ty tank clear the Scott's stabilizer (w/ the weld on tower)?
    a) If I need to buy the Zip-Ty tank, do I have to use their radiator shrouds too? Any other shrouds fit?
2) Will the Renthal bars(7/8") be ok without the cross bar (does it really make them that stonger)?

Additional info - I am use the BRP rubber triple clamps and and the scotts-ready bar clamp.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

Kevin

stuckthrottle:
you can easily bend/bow the crossbar using two handlebars for leverage, then you can still run it.

Scotts Performance sells Renthals that are per-bent to work with their damper. Give them a call.

I run an IMS tank with a weld on tower, plenty of room.

Thanks for the reply.
I would assume that is the 3.6 gallon tank?
Can you email or post a picture so I can make sure I have it welded correctly?  I have never seen any close-up pics of the welded version.
If it's too much trouble, that's ok, don't bother.

Thanks,

Kevin

I had a Scotts with the 3.9 Clarke tank, it fits without an issue. Just looks tight ;)
