September 12, 201213 yr Hmmm now there's a plan..... I did find this... http://www.autothere.com/autoby_604942_portable-motorcycle-fuel-bladder.htm Which is perfect! I just can't find a price and where to buy one.
September 12, 201213 yr Author Yer, i found this company in america www.adventuremoto.com.au/index.php?cPath=27_54&osCsid=6ba516742c6b18d4daf3a87e9e2a5c75 but cant find anything in england
September 13, 201213 yr I've seen an auxiliary fuel tank that mounts where a front number plate would be. A "long-ride" seat that held fuel would make a trials bike the perfect trail bike!
September 14, 201213 yr Hebo makes a Tank/number plate ...1100cc capacity I think . http://www.lewisport...ank_liter_a.jpg Glenn Edited September 14, 201213 yr by axulsuv
September 14, 201213 yr Author I've seen an auxiliary fuel tank that mounts where a front number plate would be. A "long-ride" seat that held fuel would make a trials bike the perfect trail bike! Beta make a tank seat for their bikes but its something like $500!! I like the number plate aux tank but to be honest i wouldnt want to attach the fuel lines ect in case of a crash and would rather stick the container in my back pack. Do anyone know if an old plastic gear or pre mix oil container would melt with petrol in it??

September 14, 201213 yr Author ill get on that tomorrow! ill keep you posted. The only other thing, would the shaking of the fuel in the back pack cause pressure to build up?? cos it would blow those plastic containers
September 14, 201213 yr Hmmmm good point! Although I'm not totally convinced that shaking it about causes pressure. (Feel free to correct me anyone) As far as I'm aware it's heat that causes the pressure to build up from the gasses it releases.... I could be wrong there though!

Oh, yer your correct about the heat. ill shake the container aswell!!
September 15, 201213 yr "I may have explained myself a bit badly. when i said im going to go trail riding, i didnt mean 8 hours down a flat fire road, i ment more single trail, hilly and technical trails. Not covering much distance but a lot of riding in a short space." All you're doing is replicating a lap or two of between section going in a "proper" trial. Just ride the thing as it is and you'll be OK.
September 15, 201213 yr Hit your local dollar store and get some aluminum drink containers or if you want, a chainsaw shop will have aluminum fuel containers

Yes i am doing that but i will be jumping the bike lots, doubles, step ups and drop offs. Not very big but will be using it for that.
