For a trip last summer I went with a 3 gal Rotopax mounted to my pelican top case...didn't really notice the extra weight..

Still considering something different....but aren't we always :yes:

if you need more range maybe these would be what you are looking for
 

40+ litre tanks.. I used these for a couple of trips, and obviously gave fantastic range..:scooter:

Good luck and grab a bargain..

Someone in the ADVrider Forum build an Underseat Tank. But only for 950/990 without ABS. KTM 950/990 Adv UNDERSEAT TANK - ADVrider

I just got my Safari tanks and even though they fit in stock mounting points, there is still some fitting to do...

You guys are trying to fix the wrong problem. You need a bike that will do more miles per gallon. My own bike with an 18 litre tank is good for 480 Km before I need to switch to reserve.

I suppose you could tow a trailer with a 20 litre can in it which would at least be cheaper than those monster top heavy tanks.

Alternatively get a small car and trailer your bike, most modern 4 seater diesel hatchbacks will do 576 or more kilometres on 30 litres of fuel towing the trailer. you wouldn't need those panniers etc then and that would save a lot of travel money.

Even a car with a soft top if you really want the breeze in your hair (eg Citroen C3 convertible) which incidentally has a 47 litre tank (over 900 Km range) or about 1800KM if you pop a couple of 20 litre jerrycans behind the front seats.

Max, I am just about to install the 40L safari tanks to my 06 950. Can you please elaborate on the "quick fix" on the bottom of the tank to prevent cracking? Thanks Kevin

I know it has been some time, the route I went was 2x 4 l tanks that replace the front covers (just under the fairing, with the front indicator ) and a 7 l fuel bladder. Total 30 odd l of fuel, with 400 odd km range.
