Mounting an Extra Fuel or Gas Tank on a Motorcycle

2013-10-11
so I added an extra fuel tank to my bike right there on the end have any extra 30 ounces of gas on there give me about another 20 miles of distance on my bike if I ever need it only cost about 20 bucks and then another seven or eight bucks for the little mount thing this mount can hold up to 300 pounds so I have an extra couple pounds of fuel on there I don't think will be a problem for it I'll show you how to mount that in just a second I think it looks pretty good matches the bike pretty well I've seen a couple different styles of this there's a guy who has two of these fuel bottles mounted up underneath but it was more of like the sv650 type where the back goes up and there's more room if I would have mounted this underneath my tire would have been scraping on it so I took it off to the side just like that anyways pretty darn secure alright so this is what it looks like without the plastics on the bike so I got my three eights with the 16 thread size right here mine was an inch and a quarter long so it fit right through the middle frame then I have a locking washer right here and it fits right into a little contraption and the whole thing is super sturdy just not moving at all just moving with the bike and then under here I bought another bolt like this that's a little bit longer this one is an m6 1 by 50 that tightens it down long enough so it'll stick through and give me more room to work with holds the bottom super tight is in your new bolt here for the frame and a new bolt on the other side to clamp it shut so this is what little connector looks like it's got the nut on top and it's got this little adjuster screw right here this thing is rated to hold 300 pounds it's got a little rubber under liner down here that grips the tank pretty securely you need one that's two and a half inches to grip that 30 ounce fuel tank you
