My bet is that back in the 70's you weren't as **** as you are now and most things probably looked OK to you.
You'd likely throw darts at that old grey Baja tank if someone handed it to you now.
Nothing personal, we're all getting a bit more spoiled now I suspect.

I remember watching some of them way cool old TV shows back then...............I can't sit through 5 minutes of one now........except CHiP's that is.

Very true, and....."Pretty is as pretty does" I'm more concerned with the leaks. As long as you get a good one that doesn't leak I guess it don't matter too much. But...That tank looks pretty bad Man.

Maybe some of you guys should stick with the stock tank. It's smooth and shiny and you can keep it all waxed and purty!

Nah I'll go for it....I have to get a new one anyway so I'll give the clark a shot. Probably will have to order up soon before they start getting tons of orders in and some shotty ones slip through the cracks.

If you aren't going to care about looks then why not go with the Acerbis tank? Sure it is ugly but it holds more and is almost the same price.

I had a idea on the Acerbis tank, chime in if you think Im nutz!

Picture this....

A fuel hose comming off the petcock inside the tank.
Have a Y connector, then two lines going toboth sides of the tank. Use something on the end so that they pick up from the bottom, that way you get all the fuel from the right side of the tank.

Im sure someone can improve on that. Personally Im really liking the Acerbis tank. I couldnt give a crap if it's ugly, its got range!
