[St] Extra Fuel

["rlnm2000@xxxxxxxxx" <rlnm2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an interesting question which will probably spark an email thread firestorm, but here it is with some background.
I was thinking of using the bike for a long commute (short term) at 98mi. one way.  That will be clost to 200 miles round trip, which means that I'd be filling up my pittly little 5.2 gal fuel tank 2-3 times a week.
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?
What is everyone's opinion?  I won't take offense so be honest..... FIRE AWAY.
Rich
