possible auxiliary fuel cell

i have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to carry extra fuel as easy as possible. i am aware of the kolpin mounted on the tail however i want to use a giant loop for carrying gear for my baja trips. today i mocked up an auxiliary right side tank out of cardboard to see how it would look and see how much fuel i could potentialy gain. it is pretty friggen ugly, but it got me thinking maybe i could use the stock can, minus all the shit inside and mount it on the right side. by my calculations i could gain 1 - 1.5 gallons. i will try to get started tomorrow, but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions feel free to chime in. since Husqvarna won't provide anything for me it is either this or go back to the Orange bikes where fuel is not an issue.

As suggested by lairpost in an earlier thread, you could put a couple of these inside your giant loop. They would certainly take some of that precious space though....

Thank you.

If only I would have known before hand, I would probably be riding something different than a Husky right now. Husky is selling and getting there brand noticed. Now all they have to do is follow up with some good accessories so people can ride more than 20 miles!

I guess KTM started out like this too didn't they? KTM has come a long way, especially with the aftermarket segment.

check this, already placed on a Husky 510TE 09, connected with an IMS tank directly, gives me now more than 240 km of capacity, already raced a 1500km race, so far very happy and a very cheap solution, easy to install.

tank

I don't see how any of those two tank options will work with a fuel injected bike.... you'd have to stop and transfer it. could be made to work with a carb....... am i wrong on this ??

Those tanks should work with any bike that has a gas cap with a vent hose.

i take it †hey siphon when riding then ??

Well said! I just spent $800 on a tank for my Husky because it's the only thing available. I'm hesitant to buy a new husky for this very reason.

spoke with just gas tanks

i spoke with a gentleman from just gas tanks and asked if he had heard anything about new tanks for husky's. he said by late winter or early spring we should see a 4 gallon for the husky from safari. i will believe it when i see it.

Ummmmm KTM was founded in 1934

Husqvarna was founded in 1689 making bikes since 1903.

Why are we giving them a pass for starting out?
