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.
