Mounted My Reserve Tanks

[scud]

Yeah, they're aluminum water bottles, but they hold the gas well. I have them in black water bottle holders. One holder is mounted to the rear chain guard mount...and the other is mounted through one of the license plate holes. Combined they allow for an additional 48oz of gas on board!

For an extra 64 oz., swap your HT tank to a 4-liter one.

I USED to carry extra fuel bottles. After installing a 4-liter one, I just carry 1 oz. of Opti-2 oil in the bottle.

yeah, I have plans for the 4L in the future. I actually like the look of the dual side canisters...also, even after the 4L upgrade, I'll keep the canisters because they come in handy when riding with a buddy that runs out of gas on a long haul

You could also put a brass t-fitting between the petcock and filter. When your buddy needs fuel, just fill at the tap.

A couple years ago, I bought 2 12oz. aluminum fuel bottles that look like yours. The only difference is the seal. I always keep one bottle in the cage.

Good! Your fuel bottles allow you to ride an extra 48 miles or so.
