But I would opt'd for those angled saddlebag gas cans, one in each saddlebag.
Use the passenger area to carry my big Nelson Rigg pack.
I'd feel better with spare gas stored alittle lower and not right behind me.
Sounds kind of stupid on my part...being we are all hugging a fuel cell with our family jewels.

If this works for you, I guess it's OK. I've never went that far to anywhere where there was no gas.

As for fuel availability, gas is a lot more available in the Midwest (where I grew up, btw) than places here and further west. There's even a spot on I-70 going west out of Green River, UT, where you don't see fuel on the Interstate for more than 125 miles - a bit different than gas every other exit <g> The other issue you will find is the lack of 24 hour gas since so many stations still have the old style pumps without PATP, especially when you're touring the back roads.
And, as noted, it'll only be there for special trips.

I've been eyeing the grab rails with the grips for my 2010 EGlide Classic, but was concerned about having them with the saddlebag lid top rails. Does anyone know if they will all clear ok? Thanks!

Here's a view of the clearance; in fact, the top of the saddlebag can hit the bottom of the Tour-Pak, but not the passenger handles.
