Just wondering what some of you folks do about carrying extra gas when traveling in remote areas ?
Yes very good to point that out !RCinNC said:I was on another forum once when there was a member who just couldn't seem to grasp the dangers of carrying gas cans....on his crash bars. The equation of "highly flammable liquid" and "part of the bike that skids down the highway when you go down" just didn't seem to gel for him.
So, whatever you decide, you probably shouldn't mount them to your crash bars.
Kolpin self venting safety spouts sucked, i ripped the guts out of mine. But i never had a problem with the containers themselves.bob dirt said:I bought a couple of 1 gallon rotopax from their official website a couple of years ago. At the time, they had a sale on factory seconds with the same warranty as new. They were about half the price. When I received them, I couldn't see what was wrong with them. They are still going strong as are the 2 gallon ones that I use on my RZR and 4x4 quad. I had Kolpin before these and had problems with the seams splitting.
I have not, however, if you take off the grab rails, invert them and swap sides. then they will still be able to be used as a tie down and the Rotopax will fit.Cycledude said:Has anyone here actually installed a RotopaX in place of the Tenere passenger seat ? Supposedly the RotopaX measures 14 x 15 inches so if those measurements are accurate I don’t think It would fit between the passenger grab handles very well ?
