Emergency gas?
I have one of the (in)famous 2.1 gallon peanut tanks, I like taking rather long rides and was wondering if it was possible to keep a tank of some sort on the bike somewhere so in case I run out on the road, i'd have a quart to keep me going another 10 miles or so for those 'oh sh*t' moments?
I heard of one that may be mountable to the bike (and preferably vented so it doesn't splode), and doesn't look too terrible with it on or off.
Also, what are some good examples of auxilary tanks that may sit on top of the main?
Thanks!
P.S.
It's a 48, so no saddle bags to stow anything away in, and would rather not tow in plain sight, like behind the sissy bar.

I have one of these. These are made to fit snug into the corner of hard saddlebags, but I'm sure it would work for you too. It holds an extra gallon.
