Wilsons Sandbox

When I bought mine, the $225 included shipping which is a very substantial amount. My first IMS tank had a pinhole cast into it, which seeped fuel. I got it exchanged, of course, but the return shipping hurt. IMS did give me a big reduction on a set of their pegs but I don't think it completely balanced out. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Mark Lewis" wrote:

The March, 2004 MCN contains a comparison on cheap (under $99.00) bike-to-bike comm. sets. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, Rick Peterson wrote:

IMS makes great product, however their customer service has always sucked. They are one of the few aftermarket companies that have earned a solid reputation for take it or leave customer relations. Case in point. After the accident that killed my first KLR I called them up and asked for a copy of the diagram for connecting the tank to the vapor recovery line. They tech on the phone asked why I needed the diagram. I explained my bike had died in an accident and I was moving the tank to the replacement. AT that point the IMS tech said I would receive no support from IMS for a gas tank that had been through a wreck because the official IMS stance was the tank was no longer serviceable.
