[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1159273, member: 18388"] I would think first of all you should reconsider how much fuel you need. Regardless of your experience to be prepared, you're not likely going across the desert or South America, you may be going to Alaska. The only other reason to carry the 3.5 litres of fuel you're thinking about is to do Iron Butt so you don't have to stop for long or worry about the next fuel stop during the night. 99% of the time you will find fuel within your current tank. If you want to extend the range beyond the approx. 50 mile range of your reserve, just carry an MSR bottle of fuel. Look on the dual sporting forums and you'll see regular or heavier duty plastic cans mounted to the passenger footpegs to keep the weight down lower. There are others that are smaller (say 1 up to 2 litres) which are bracket mounted and look decent. [/QUOTE]
