Spare/Touring Gas Tank
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

You need to talk to Da Queen.  SEE THREAD  She hasn't posted since August, but she did leave THIS LINK on Rick and Vick's site documenting the whole tank installation on her Savage.

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.
