That 'lil red spare Reddy fuel jug...

...that I've been enthralled with off and on. Got one finally.

Was always curious and wondering; if it would fit in the rear of the saddlebag as advertised. I did a lot of measuring and even made a cardboard mockup of it... but proof is with getting on my hands on the real McCoy.

It almost does :shhh:

Some interior bodywork in the upper rear of the saddlebag does keep it from fitting completely into that slanted rear area, but it's occupying about 87 percent of that space; at a slight angle. One gallon of liquid insurance in case I'm on a trip and pull into a closed gas station while the beast is thirsty...

I always carry one esp on long trips where the recon is a bit fuzzy.
It fits the HD purrfect and the F6 so so

Have one, nice to have if you have a brain fart.

87%?
Are you sure about that?
I measured mine and it comes out to 88.47%

87 percent exactly. Today. However... dependent upon involved material(s) expansion due to ambient temperature changes and barometric pressure, that percentage could readjust accordingly. :icon_wink:

With just a bit of filing you can get it up to 91.2

That little Hagerstown event was quite hilarious, regarding unavailability of gas (at least in that section of town). :icon_lol: Funniest part was your expressed exasperation via the Sena’s :shhh:

Just wanted to pick up a little spare jug.... for travel to the Rally events we have planned for next year. :icon_wink:

I have one that fit my GL1800 very well. I'll try it on my F6B.
