I find it really comfortable, but the tank leaks, especially bad if I put more than a gallon at a time in it. So, I'm hoping I can find another of these tanks so I don't have to replace everything, even though I want a Pro Circuit Platinum 2 pipe. :-D

When I talked to IMS about a leaky tank and if I could get another they said if I get them the tank code, they would make me another. Mine was leaking at the base of the filler cap threads. I ended up plastic welding it. Worked out great! The tank code from what I can tell is KX500 FF. Good luck!

In the last 10 years or so, Ive had 4 tanks crack from IMS. 3 at the filler neck and one underneath. They replaced the ones I sent back. I switched back to Clarke tanks for my 04 KX250.

If fmf offered a low boy pipe why isn't AJ using that pipe to make pipes for his kx500 af. Mine is built from the zip-ty low bow and it fits great with no clearance issues.
kawsf:
At one time you could get the fmf pipe or the flo pipe from zipty.You could chose witch pipe you wanted.I'm sure you would have to go through zipty to buy the fmf pipe.I don't think he sold that many of the fmf pipes.I have seen very few pictures of them on bikes.At the time i purchased my kit the flo pipe was all i could get.
kwakman:
the fmf pipe pictured runs outside the frame like standard.the af requires it to run inside the subframe. is this the only desert pipe fmf sell ? i ask this as the length and cone shape look similar to my gnarly torque.
I NEED A TOP END PIPE REAL BAD!
anyone.....
