Anyone Use an Auxillary Tank?

[Kendo]

Been watching these 2 threads over on ADV and i think they look quite interesting. Just wandered if anyone else had seen them or done anything similar and could comment?

Personally, I think both of these options ruin the look of the bike. I'm happy strapping on a jerry can on the odd occasion that I need extra fuel. Plus the fuel is being carried relatively high up which will make the bike a pig to pick up when it goes over on rough ground.

It's releatively easy to empty heavy panniers in the case of a fall, particularly with liners, but disconnecting a tank? Maybe these riders are built like Conan. Just my opinion.

I agree with Malcolm. But I like this.

would never pay this unless they was Free

but as pointed our Gerry cans are cheaper and often not required for most rides.
