I have started looking for fuel cells. Has anyone found a good one yet. Cost, design ...stainless over plastic...I would appreciate some sites. I am not talking about a MSR cylinder but a gravity fed system...

I don't have one or know of anyone who does, but a quick search of the web produced this one.

If all else fails, try twisted throttle. They have a spare fuel can that mounts with a secure X shaped thingie. I am putting one on top of the tour pack for a trip to Alaska..... Not very expensive either.... just a thought

This is what I have found so far....

Tonight someone had told me about an auxilliary tank that fits under the passenger seat. I have only had my bike a week now. I have not taken the seat off. The guy who told me has a trike goldwing. He had said California Godlwing had these tanks...if anyone knows anything about this please email me... [email protected] this is really important to me and I would apprecaite your help.

 

[IBALEE]

It took a while but I found it.....this is the name of it Auxiliary Fuel Tank 3.4 gallons TKC-05


I am going to contact a dealer to see about getting this installed...it is gravity fed.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

where did you find it? got a link

 

[IBALEE]

It seems that they are putting thses on goldwing trikes all over the country. I read though that this tanks puts in the origiial frame. California Goldwing...and numerous others pop up when you run all thae tank information that I listed in the above thread. I am surprise no one on the site was aware of this. The trike owner I spoke to set me on this trail. It seems perfect out of site and it is not sitting on the seat where it can damage the seat or be messed with when it is sitting outside a hotel...

 

[IBALEE]

I am calling a dealer on Monday and I will let you all know what I find out ....

 

[IBALEE]

Dead end on the 3.4 gallon tank it is used only on Trikes under the passenger seat...after the tire is removed. I was hoping for a better outcome......so now I am looking at some other options...

 

[IBALEE]

this seems to be the best answer ...but it is pricey a grand and that is with out hardware....but it seem to be the best answer for what I am going to use itfor. Has anyone here used it?

The only free space under my seat is the foam attached to the seat pan. Having a single seat made might give one some room to have a custom tank fabricated.

I have to get off my bike every 100 miles, so I might as well put some fuel on then.

The only time I ever got short on fuel was on my trip from El Paso to Douglas, Arizona through Columbus, NM. That stretch of road has one gas station in Columbus....and if you don't gas there, you won't make it to Douglas.

My goal is to increase the wings range to 350 miles and stopping aournd every three hundred miles. I was doing over 200 miles on my rocket and it was not as nearly as comfortable or as enjoyable as the Goldwing.

You're only limitation will be the fuel IBALEE. There were many times that the Little lady & I would pull up to a fuel pump, sitting on the bike fuel it, take the receipt & get right back to riding.

Good luck on the search.

 

[IBALEE]

Found the one I am getting ...will be using quick connects and a selenoid in line to open the line and close it electronically. I think it will work well the tank is running me a little over five hundred dollars....

that is not my bike in the photo...I will post photos after I install it...

 

[fossil92]

That certainly is a fuel tank. Get ready to log the miles.

 

[bikrbob]

where did you get it? More info please.

Fossil that is the plan.... I am doing a practice run in April. I will be going for 1500 miles in 24 hours and finsh with 2000 miles. I will be getting a Texas patch...Gold patch for the 1500 miles in 24 and a 2000 in under 48 hours....

I am trying to get ready for June .......10,000 in 10 days....and the four corners tour...at once....I need to break in my new beauty in...
