Been tempted to buy one of these... but I am concerned about the actual height of it. From all of my measuring thus far; seems that it may barely fit at all

That's the one specifically made for the Harley with the slant in the back of the bags.
Get some spare cardboard and mock it up. 6x7x10.25 and see what it does.
I dismantled a vacuum cleaner the other day and fit it in my bags. Just sayin
Can't really take a plastic fuel can apart... but thanks for thinking outside of the envelope here... :icon_mrgreen:Quote:

Of course it's insurance for me as well.
I could mock it up but the clearance is already so tight from my measurements (for the height) that I don't think it will really give me a definite answer.Quote:

I think I will do that. Tomorrow.Quote:

Thanks for that. :yes: I never measured my left bag.... only the right bag. :icon_frown:Quote:

I think he stated why he wanted it....not if you wanted one. This is the place to get the answer he was seeking.
I carry a gas can on my bike, but it is empty. Just can't see having a gallon of gas sloshing around back there in an unvented space. But I do like the idea of having a can in case someone runs out of gas. I use this one. It is a single use, cardboard with a plastic spout. Kind of reminds me a bit of a milk carton. about an inch thick and maybe 14 inches long.

If I get rear ended that hard; I think that one gallon gas jug back there would be the least of my worries... and doubtful it'll detonate/explode like munitions would.Quote:

Why mess with gas cans at all, I keep this in my saddle bag, One siphon and a empty oil quart. If a bike runs out of gas you can always get a little from the next bike. A quart ought to be good for almost ten miles.

Great idea!Quote:

Yes they do fit. I have two but have not used them with the B
You guys use gasoline in the bike? Mine uses rocket fuel.:stirthepot:
Wow that's even harder to come by than gas,... I guess? Around me there is a gas station on every corner but out west maybe not so much.Quote:
