Auxilliary fuel tanks (cheaper than 1200Adv)

[Tim Cullis]

One way of increasing fuel capacity without buying a new bike?

Twin auxilliary fuel tanks from Tourtank provide an additional 15 litres of fuel (US gallons are smaller than imperial).

I once had a auxilliary tank fitted to a my R1100 RS
Only really worth using on long trips and gave a range of around 375 miles. Suited my riding at the time, now I still ride long distances I just take more time. I do like a good range and it remains a high prority for any bike I own 200 miles is a minimum, 300 is good.

I'm planning on going with those Aqualine tanks sold by Core Racing in the UK or the 12 ADV tank if it fits.

Doesn't look like a smart place to put all that weight

You may have a point, but they may need the height to gravity feed the fuel.
It would be worth concidering your insurance companies acceptance
