Better to strap 5 gallons of it inches from the engine and then wrap your crotch around it.

jeez if this guy asked you where to buy a watch, would you be telling him he doesn't need to know what time it is?

i have a reda that fits in the saddlebag. i used it once and the fumes seeped out and the inside of the bag smelled like gas for days. i had the lid on pretty tight but those fumes will find a way out. unless your going up to alaska you should be ok. like everyone has said you will learn your bike and how far you can go.

Technically, the FI bikes do too.
When the "Low Fuel" light comes on, you are on reserve.
Not any different than your carb bike with the fuel petcock.
Engine on both bikes will stop running when they run out of fuel.

The REDA fits just fine in my RKC. I bought it, along with the zip lock bag that fits it nicely. I only bought because I ride out in the desert a lot and my 107" build ended up with **** mileage (I also ride like a banshee out there). 5 gallon tank and high speeds, I average 29-33 MPG. I also have used the MSR cans and put them where the water bottle would on saddlebag guard.

I know most will never ride way up north, but for those that venture into areas where fuel stops can be far and few such as western BC and the Yukon a little insurance in the saddle bag is a good idea. I have known people that have made the trek to Alaska and not needed it, but I also know of others that have made the trip and found the gas stops they thought would be there either hadn't opened for the season or closed early. The later were very glad to have an extra gallon of fuel.
