Wondering what to do with all the cash you've saved from buying parts made by slave and child labor? Don't miss this! (http://www.bobsbmw.com/store/product/custom-long-distance-high-capacity-touring-gas-tank-for-bmw-k75--k100)

I'm 53. My bladder has a shorter range than the tank I have on it now.

And guaranteed to draw a crowd of envious onlookers, awed by it's svelte looks and custom streamlining.
Regards an envious Martin. :musicboohoo:

This fuel tank is still available. It's the perfect gift for those wanting to put the past as far behind them as a tankful will allow.

As far as that tank would take you, you could never get away the ugly!

For $900 I can just stop for gas, not have an ugly ass tank and pee.

There are a few places where gas is more than 225 miles apart. I found one of them on the North shore of Lake Superior where I had to get a half gallon of gas from a good Samaritan to make the last 1 1/2 miles to a gas station at Nippissing. I might have made it but for a 15 mile side trip to see some sights.
I recently bought a collapsible 5L container that I can carry for an extra 50 miles when I need it. I wouldn't carry a full container all the time, in fact, when the situation dictates I would fill it and put the contents in the tank as soon as the room was available. The price is low enough that I can carry it as a one use emergency fuel carrier.

I cannot fathom the pain involved if you hit your front brake hard and slid into either one of these....

I carry a little 30 oz MSR fuel bottle which fits in the tail section. It is only good for maybe 10 miles or so but it does allow me a little extra reserve if needed

Well you're right, but at least I can still stop for gas, not have an ugly tank and still pee without gas. :)

Remember when we used to have Ironbutt types hanging out here? Gwen (Shoganai) had a great thread that included designing and installing an aux fuel tank on the back of her K1100. I'm gonna go look for that.

Here's a link to Reply #3 (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,5345.msg33163.html#msg33163) in her saga that includes photos and text describing the auxiliary fuel tank.

Here's a classic Gwen ride report that starts with a question from Gary (DRxBMW), who passed away this year. We had some cool people hanging around the joint:

Still looking for her aux fuel install post; kind of lost in her transmission rebuild post.

Even more liquid to hold heat in front of you

Go big or go home. You can’t have too much gas unless you are on fire. I used to run Heinrich tanks on my R bikes (still have one left) and now have a 5 gallon aux on my R12GS. I’d buy a big ugly tank in a minute if i could find one for the K11RS..

I too am queer for big tanks. Had an 8 Heinrich on a R90S for many years. I've been ridingK72's for 15 + years and have a 8 gallon Randolf tank most of those years. Mr. Randolf made the K bike tanks that BMW should have offered :2thumbup:
