Default Extra Fuel

Added a removable spare fuel tank to the bike.
I don't know about you guys but when my fuel
light comes on I only have 20 miles left with
this 124 motor let me know what you think.

I have the same issue with my 120R. I am just thinking about a 7 gallon tank.

Your idea looks serviceable, i would worry about road debris mounted that low and puncturing and gas spilling out on to hot exhaust.

Im sure you thought about that and used heavy gauge metal for your extra tank.

Looks good

I'm interested in the oil filter relocation kit you have on the bike. What is the brand/model?

Looks like a solid piece. I'm intrigued about your mounting system. Any plans to manufacture? What type of transfer do you use (screw on nozzle, funnel, plumbed into the bike)?

I get pretty good mileage with my 110. I can go 70-100 miles after my low fuel light comes on. My gauge reads accurate, just that stupid light comes on after 130 miles. I always try to fill up at 200, but pushed it to 227 one time. I put 5.43 gallons in to fill up. I sometimes get adventurous and take a route I don't know, in an area I'm not familiar with. A tank like yours would be great for trips.
