Good idea until you look at the thickness of the aluminum of the tour tank vs. the disposable beer mini-keg. Rupture a beer keg and you'll be sucking beer off the ground. Rupture that same keg when it's full of gasoline you could emulate T Quang Duc.

Maybe you could find one small enough to strap between the bars .... or in between the windshield and bars. When resreve starts to run out, switch over to the blatter. Found a 6 gallon one on Yahoo, but it was rectangluar ugly thing.

The company that makes the tour tanks used to do them in the two gallon and such sizes in a plastic. They don't anymore. Might have something to do with safety during collisions. I don't think I would like to get caught under a bike with a ruptured plastic gas tank of some sort dribbling around the accident sight. But hey, that's just me.

So here it is. The 2 gallon tour tank is awful tight. So I decided on a 1 gallon tank but I'm cheap so I shopped around and found a new 1gal. air tank (6inch diam 12inch L.) for $32. Bought it. I found a mikuni vacuum actuated fuel pump also new $20. Bought it. Waiting on UPS man. Also came up with a simpler delivery system with only one valve to switch at reserve level. Also think I can reluse stock chrome battery box retaining the tool kit storage. I will continue to update and include photos when I get the parts and begin fabrication.
