I don't like the looks of the plastic tank covers so that's out.

I called ceet and had them make me a tank cover and was all excited because I had seen them before and liked them but one I got it it did not have the kawasaki emblem painted on the side??? Called ceet and they notifird me that they don't do that anymore?? SO it's just a giant piece of green vinyl to cover the tank. Needless to say that is shipping back to them for a full refund because I was clear it had to have the emblem when I ordered it. They were actually decent about it.

Does any one know if clarke ever got there act together and started making gas tanks that weren't total pieces of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro like the early ones were??

You could send it to the Cosmic Quads and they could put the logo on for you. Or send back the one you bought and have Cosmic Quads make you one with the logo.

I called Clarke (again) last Tuesday and they are still working/waiting on the new mold(s).
I noted on my calendar at work to call again in 1 month month.
It is actually cheaper (and one HECK of a lot easier) to buy from them then to do my own mold and roto cast some up so I am patiently waiting for the new molds to go into production.

CEET had told me in an e-mail they would do a run of the tank covers with the Graphic on the side with 10 covers pre sold. I wonder if that would be something they would still be able to do?
