Am I missing something, or can't you just fill your bike up while you are sitting on it holding it upright??

I would understand a bigger tank or an Aux tank, but why go through all that trouble for maybe a half a gallon gas. That's about 20 miles.

If you going for the cool factor or a pop up gas cap, then great. Whatever floats your boat.

Amazing thing about these bikes is you can top them off with only half to 3/4 of a tank of fuel to make it another 150 miles.

I ride out west also and I have never seen more than a hundred miles between stations and I try to plan accordingly.

I understand, I'd like it if mine were on the right corner so I could fill it up more. But I'm not into spending lots of dough on a new tank and staying on the bike to fill up sucks at stations where there is no where to put your gas cap. That is why I bought Glens Gas Cap Hinge. Cheap, easy and looks awesome. Now I don't have to worry about where to put the cap, it just flips up and out of the way.

I also have Glen's gas cap hinge and I made a round block about 2 " high that I carry in my saddlebag. If I want to get that little extra in I just pull out the block, under the kickstand and filler up.. then :choppersm
