Re: [St] Extra Fuel

Rich,

I believe your plan is not good simply from a safety standpoint.  What
happens in a simple accident?  Will the tank remain in position?  Will it
have roll-over vent to keep it from leaking?  Will the fill lid not leak
with a semi hard slam to the road?  OEMs go to great lengths to idiot proof
the fuel systems for all types of fault scenarios.  The OEM tank is thick,
tough, and relatively protected but you are describing one sticking up in
the air lashed on with Givi box bolts.....

I wouldn't do it.

Therefore I had a thought of buying a fuel tank to fit in my Givi top box
and running a fuel line under the seat to the pump (on the side of my OEM
tank) with a petcock.
Since this commute is straight up highway riding (i.e. no knee dragging) the
extra weight in that top box shouldn't throw off my handling too much,
right? Or is this just a down right stupid thought of attempting?
