Here's the post by a guy that carried a fuel bottle. . . and a picture of his burning bike after the explosion.

Like I said, after a few years the filler spout broke down on mine and came apart inside the container. Having something like this is just like having insurance IMO. If Reda makes a better one than what I had I would possibly be interested in one but the smell of gas was always in that saddlebag. Just another reason to look at the alternatives.
