Hi

I am planning to do some long rides on my sportster and wanted to explore some options for carrying additional fuel.

How are you all doing it?

I have the MSR, very solid.

Depends how much extra you want to carry. If you want extended range a larger gas tank is the simplest option. An alternative is an add-on tank which can be installed on a rear rack and connected into your current fuel system (don't recall the brand).

 

4.5 to 5 gallon fat boy tank helps. This one fit right on my 2000 in place of the peanut tank. They're easy to swap back and forth, too, just slip a tube on the petcock to drain the gas, then comes off easy. And a lot of folks will think you have a big twin...

I have 2 20oz bottles as seen in this link http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/st...ottles/product

(picked up mine at Bass Pro) I threw them in my bag for a trip this summer. It was nice insurance, but luckily, I did not need them.

 

Super easy--4.5-gallon tank.

 

Tank size was the deciding factor in my decision to buy the Custom.
