Title: Spare/Touring Gas Tank
Post by theikeman on 01/22/06 at 14:52:47

Sometime ago I saw a website for a rear mounted "spare" gas tank. Looked like a round luggage bag. Would be perfect for extended riding for our Savage. Anyone know where??? They had a number of installations including a Honda Spirit 750 and others
Thanks
Ike

You need to talk to Da Queen. SEE THREAD (http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=RubberSideDown;action=display;num=1123620999) She hasn't posted since August, but she did leave THIS LINK (http://www.ricknvick.com/Other%20Stuff/tourtank/) on Rick and Vick's site documenting the whole tank installation on her Savage.

That's the one, I could not find it via Google.
Thanks Paladin

Looks like the newer 3.5 gallon version is aluminum instead of the original 2 gallon plastic one. The 3.5 gallon is also shorter... and they're the same price. Not bad.

I was looking at that one also. Would give you a total of six gallons usable -- at 60 mpg is a 360 mile range. Slow down a tad and get 80 mpg, 480 miles. Go on a leisurely cross country cruise and only have to fuel up once a day.

If my fiberglass tank does not work out this would be an excellent addition for the August trip to Sturgis...after the gel seat insert of course.
