Exclamation extra fuel options

I would like to know how to extend my mileage. I have looked online for bigger gas tanks. looked at aux tanks and fuel cells. What have some of you done? This is my one big complaint with my bike...stopping every 150-170 miles is annoying.

I have a '07 Ultra with stage 1 and tru duals(sp)...i just wanna ride not spend my time at the pumps....what can i do

trade in on the 09 and up with the 6 gallon tank. not anything your going to do i don't think that is going to increase you gas mileage to much more than 200miles and still thats a nice straight haul and iam ready for a smoke and a drink after that. But if i had an ultra i could have that smoke or drink while riding so i can see where your coming from on the mileage.

I've read of someone who co-opted the hollow of his tour-pak lid to fit a fuel cell of some sort. One idea.
