It's more that it would be nice to take a side-trip, maybe through the mountains
or back roads or similar, where I can't be guaranteed gas along the way. So far
I haven't found anything that looks like it'll work great, closest is maybe
getting some kind of saddlebag-area metal frame and putting a gas can in that,
but then there's the issue of it sitting on top of the exhaust in the direct
sun. Also thought about maybe a 2 gallon attached to the back of the sissybar...
Peace,

You're going to have to stop to put the extra gas in it anyway, and 160
miles is just a bit shy of three hours at a steady 60mph; might as well just
buy it fresh and avoid the issue?
Only reason I've ever carried extra fuel on a trip with me is when I head
north to Chicago, where gas is stupidly expensive. I fill two five gallon
cans and put them in my car's trunk, then use the cheap-cheap SC gas in
Chicago rather than filling up at city prices. Saves me a good $10-15 in gas
over the trip.

Howdy,
So I'm planning a cross-country trip on my '92 750. Stock tank is about 4
gallons, which is about 160 miles max or so, which isn't very far for a
4,000 mile trip.
I'm curious if anyone here has any experience carrying extra gas along with
them.
What did you use?
Would you do it again?
How much could you carry?
How safe was the extra gas in the hot summer sunlight on a full-day ride?
Thanks!
