There are auxiliary gas tanks on that site that mount behind the sissy bar.

Here is a more direct link.

I met a guy one time that had a 5 gallon tank on his back seat.
He said it was so he could go further.

I don't know about you but my *** can only handle one tank before it starts screaming to get the hell off the seat.

I am usually ready for a break at 200 to 250 miles. On the Evo meet up in Jefferson, my fuel mileage was so terrible I was only getting 105-125 miles out of a tank. On more local rides, I am getting about 150. I am on about week 6 or so with the pancreatitis, so I have had a lot of time to just think about that and look at what kind of crazy options there might be online. My company is still paying me full salary even though I haven't been back to work since this began. I almost fainted twice on Sunday, so needless to say, I haven't ridden in a long time either.
