 Need to carry a jerry can.
I'm planing to take my Spyder on US 50 through Nevada, also known as the loneliest highway.
What kind of jerri can do you recommand to carry with me ?

A Reda can fits in the right side compartment. I bought mine at a Harley dealer about $25.00

Home Depot, Where they keep the chain saws, 1.25 GAL [I fill it with 1.5 gal] tank with the safety spout.
I've been using that tank for years, [4] no fumes no leaks. even when i inadvertently left it on it's side for 180 miles.
About ten bucks. Oh, and it's not about the price, 1.5 gal in my opinion is better than .9 gal.
I did have to use it twice over the years.

I have made the trip from Kentucky to California on Hwy 50. In Nevada there is a stretch where the gas stations are 75 miles apart. If you miss one you will certainly be interested in the next one. But you can make it without a jerri can. I have never been a fan of carrying gas in anything other than the tank.

Non need to carry a gas can.
Ok guys, thanks. I thought that the distences between the gas stations were more that 100 miles for the most isolated ones.
In that case no need to carry a jerry can.

Yeah, and to be clear, that's the 1/2 cover. Not sure about the full; haven't seen how much bigger of a stuff sack that one is in so I couldn't say, but yeah the 1/2 cover fits in there no problem with the 2 reda cans.
