Wanted XR650R Long Range Fuel Tank

Any size considered, stock 7 litre/140km not enough to get between gas stations in some parts of the country!!!

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a fuel bottle and strap it to the pillion seat just incase?

if cost is not an issue errr....

somebody on here should know where to get one or have one in the shed.

Been strapping gas on the back for the last few years, find it a bit of a nuisance especially when carrying other shit.

I get 120/125km to reserve then another 20 to bone dry max. Doesn't seem to make any difference how or where I ride and gearing to the max 15/40 didn't help either. I can import a tank from Aus/US but was hoping someone might have one locally saving expense and hassle. Thanks
