    Will this fit in our F6B's saddlebag as intended?

    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.

    Can't really take a plastic fuel can apart... but thanks for thinking outside of the envelope here...

    It's not for much for me... but sometimes (infrequently in the past) I have come across a fellow motorcyclist out of gas.

    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.

    Well, our sponsor's website says it's for a Goldwing.... so was hoping that someone has already tried (and succeeded) with this in the rear of their F6B's saddlebags.

    I hate sending stuff back

    Give Wingstuff a call and see if they can waddle out to a bike, insert the can, and take a picture of it.

    I have one and it fits in the left bag almost the way it is supposed to but not in the right bag. I never took it on a trip as I just had reservations about it. Besides, on a trip I always look for gas at half full. Two reasons for this, firstly it avoids running out of gas and secondly if you get a tank of bad gas it's only half a tank of bad gas.

    Thanks for that. I never measured my left bag.... only the right bag.
