I know, it's weird. But I have seen it on 4 different bikes online... Could it be Japanese you think?

It looks like the tanks we had in the 70s that held 2 gallons.

Looks a lot like my 2.1 gal tank on my 48. Warning light comes on at around 65 miles and you are out at about 80-100 miles depending on how you have been riding. I'm thinking about taking a multi-day ride carrying a 1.5 gal gas can along with the 30 oz bottle I now have on my single side bag. Life's tough but somebody has to live it.

I cant see the pic, my IT dept has it blocked. Is it one of those tanks with a soda bottle cap? They look neat, but Im figgerin you need a funnel to put gas in.
