I've been reading around here for the majority of the day and at this point I am in need of some guidance.
Correct me if I am wrong but the gist I got is there is 2 ways of adding an auxiliary fuel tank.
1. Drill into the tank and make an additional pep cock to run a hose to the main tank from the auxiliary.
2. Add a T connector to the vent hose and gravity feed?
-the height between the aux space and the main tank is significant enough that unless i need to get up to injector pressure, gravity feed will be sufficient.
If anyone could help point me in the right direction or provide the information needed to get this completed. I'd really like to have a larger range instead of resorting to a Jerry can, I have a few days longer than a month and I've tried to approach this problem before and given up.
I'm planning to get started in Iron Butt this summer with a trip from Northern WA to Southern CA. I currently have a 2005 GSX-R 600 with lets just say minimal fuel capacity. (I know, get a more suited bike for the ride.... However I enjoy the thrill of doing things outside the norm.)
Main tank (4.5gal tank)
Auxillary tank (3-5 gallon tank) (rear seat mounted 14" x 14" area)
