Hey I just saw the new 2021 TW 200 I must say I'm actually glad I could not find a 2020 TDUB. The 2021 is really cool looking has a lot of black it looks cool, because of the new color scheme of the 2021 I will not need to do a lot to it other than change color of the seat, hand Guards and the housing cover for the light, I'm making that blue. The rest I will just add some mods and racks maybe some LED's. Anyway looking forward to your next vid, take care ride safe great chanell, oh my wife really liked the video you did riding in the cave awesome stuff man.

Scruffy, yeah.. it's pretty well-known about the 'blemishes' on the Clarke tanks when it comes to the TW200 specific models.. That's a pretty big buzz kill.. From what I've learned over the years, that can be hit and miss, so who knows.. I ordered a Clarke tank for my TDub, but, didn't want to deal with blems or frequent refills, so, I opted for the XT 350 [4gal - clear/natural] model instead. They involve a bit of modding, but nothing crazy, and totally worth it in the end. Also.. When I called Clarke Racing directly, the lady picked up the phone on the 1st ring! She checked price and availability on a few different tanks in just minutes.. Great Customer Service! Unfortunately, they were all out of stock, and backed up with a 3-5 week 'wait'. **Sigh** They're making more of them as we speak.. Being Anxious to get it is an understatement. I can't wait. Sam -

Being 1.5 hours [1 way] away from my little shop, I gave in, went the lazy route, and placed an order.. Mike hit me back with a PayPal refund, and recommended a USPS money-order instead.. That's what I did, and he discounts the order 20% Hopefully it'll be here sooner than later, I'm very anxious to check out the quality.. I plan on mounting some very high end camera equipment, so hoping it's burly.. If not, I'll pass it on, and make my own.. We'll see.. 🙂👍 Sam -
