Extra fuel options??
« on: June 10, 2016, 05:55:41 am »
As per heading, what are my options if I want to increase my 690's fuel range for around R5K??

Even by just 5l's is fine for me. I know I can take a 5l can, bit I'm looking for something permanent.

I would love the RR rear tank, but am not ready to pay that much! Anyway, maybe I missed something that's on the market, let's hear!!

Flying brick stocks the little under the seat tanks except the 690 s already sits there but worth a shout.

If you have a rear rack already the rotopax from wild@heart might be an option. Is what I use.

Our hard red fuel cell ins just R599 for 5L, and we have a stainless steel fitment bracket available, that the red fuel cell mounts to, for R450.

You can also see some of the attached pics, to give you ideas...

Cheers
Chris

and then look at www.nomadtanks.com.au - we are there importers, and you can choose between tank 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7 ,8 , 9 and 10!

Seen a forum member use a piece of alu sail mast to make a tank for his 500 fitting under the plastics like the exhaust but on the other side. Not sure how much modification is required.

How about changing your exhaust to a rally style exhaust and fitting a tank in the exhaust space?

Hi Boland,

I just used 2 off the flying brick tanks on our bikes for a trip.  Can't really beat it at the price.  The shape and strength makes it easy to strap them onto the bike.  I still want to make a cap with a hose so I can refuel without taking them off the bike.  But not the permanent solution you are looking for.

customer of ours fitted a Rally Raid tank to his bike, after customizing the brackets - he's a perfectionist - !

(he bought the tank direct, and not from us)
