Re: [St] Extra Fuel
I do not see the great advantage of adding the fuel
cell just so you can go to the gas station every other
day. A 5 gallon aluminum fuel cell from Summit Racing
with a gavity feed can be added for about $150. I
mounted one to my BMW GS via bracket supports
replacing the pillion seat. I added mine for the long
distance riding and there are some places/times of day
that I ride that you need longer range between open
stations. I would not put it on the luggage rack as
it puts the weight higher and also behind the rear
tire. A tail dragger tank puts it behind the rear
tire but low. However, any custom tank like a tail
dragger, pannier insert, etc. will be very expensive.
Another poster suggested carrying an extra gallon. If
you're going to do this I would get four of the 33 oz.
MSR fuel cannisters (one piece aluminum), for $15
each, or the like, and then put them in a pillion bag.
What would I do? Just fill up with gas when I needed
too. If the gas stations are at the exits, and even
with a stop light, you could be filled up and on the
road in less then 5 minutes.
