I'm aware of  the Tour Tank brand of auxilary fuel tanks and also the available line of belly tanks. However is there any reason a fuel cell such as this would not work or be made to work aesthetics aside?

I'm sure it would work but my issue would be that's a lot of weight up high. Assuming it would go on the luggage rack.

I don't see any reason why not.  There was a post awhile back from someone (don't remember who) that had mounted a round tank behind the sissy bar.  They had posted pics of it too.

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Thanks.  The Tour Tank (the round one) boasts some kind of special venting I thought might be needed on a MC tank.  Four gallons of gas is 25 pounds.  Is that really an issue?  I ride with my wife occasionally and she weights more than that  Roll Eyes  Wouldn't use the tank two up.
