I was thinking of riding with my blitz 1 gallon can on my rear rack to get more miles out of the ride. Do any of you here do this?

I carry a 1 gal plastic bungeed to the rack it is NOT plumbed in or anything

I have the koplin fuel pak jr. with bracket on my factory rear rack. adds 1 1/2 gallons making my range about 225 miles.

I have carried aluminum fuel bottles both upfront and in tool tubes in the rear. Have also carried a Kolpin fuel tank mounted on my rear Pelican case. Lot's of options for carrying extra fuel.

I have the same set up. I attach the fuel pack when I expect I'll need additional mileage range. Kolpin is a quality product.

Ive allways wondered if any of this is illegal lol, carrying fuell on the rack. I have yet to be stopped for having a gallon tank bunjie'd on

So you mounted the bracket directly to the rear rack bolts? Did you have to remove the rubber rack pad? 225 miles is good range though.

I carry a 2 gallon Rotopax strapped onto the rack. So far so good.

To clarify... my fuel pack bracket is bolted vertically to my CycleRack.com rear rack, so that the fuel pack sits upright when attached. The bracket is left on permanently, the fuel pack only when needed. I find that a vertical mount is less likely to leak fuel when on rugged terrain.

I carry 2, 5 liter steel, German, jerry cans.

That's about 2.6 gallons, to give me an additional 200 miles of range.

We carry the 1.5gl Kolpin tank on the back using the kolpin bracket attached to the cyclerack.

I am lucky to get 100 miles out of a full tank!

Any problems with the kolpin l brackets breaking? Ive been eyeing the rotopax.

Get a Clark tank.

Never had a problem. I put it on in 07 or 08.

I've had problems trying to carry gas cans held on with bungie cords. Okay on smooth pavement, but they tend to bounce around on any but the smoothest terrain. My solutions include a Clarke XT350 tank and a custom rear rack with built-in auxilary tank.

Do you have a pic of your bike with the Clarke XT350 tank? Did you have to make a adapter mounter to make it work?

my koplin fuel pak jr in on bracket attached to factory rack (not rubber pad) which is laying down and not vertical like some I've seen. I have inexepensive saddlebags that fit over fuel pack with a bungee cargo net holding it. I wanted to keep storage stuff on back as low as possible so if (when..) I crash I don't get hung up on it when I tumble/roll off. I did ponder on it leaking so have spout facing left side of bike and away from exhaust. Its never leaked a drop of fuel and take fuel pack off and store vertical when not using bike. It may help a little keeping weight lower on bike too.

Yes. Yes.
