Re: [St] Extra Fuel

["Dan Wallander" <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a great idea to me.  There are several companies out there that 
make stock and custom fuel cells.  They are pricey.

However, I believe that with our fuel pump systems, you are going to have to 
use another way to transfer the gas from the fuel cell to the gas tank. 
Gravity probably isn't going to do it.  They have pump systems that go with 
those fuel cells.

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.
