• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Saddlebag mount for Rotopax tanks

Been trying to figure out a way to mount my 2 gallon Rotopax tanks on the bike. One will fit awkwardly in the frunk but that's not a great option.

My thought was some kind of removable saddlebag mount. They make a pack mount that is designed to attach through a thin wall material. I was thinking something I could throw over the back seat and then mount the tanks onto on either side. Then remove the tanks as needed or even the saddlebag with the tanks.

Anyone know of a saddlebag mount that is removable and stable and might be modified?

Also love the frunktank (thank you Mr. Orange for the great new term) I just saw on another post. But I was hoping for an as needed option for the time being. BTW, had a lengthy talk with the fabricator of the frunktank. Hell of a nice guy and suggested he check out our forum and maybe consider making a turnkey frunktank.
 
Just wondering if you ever found a solution. I'll be riding my R1200RT with my wife, at least until I trade it out for an RS-S, on her new Spyder once it arrives and am already concerned about the disparity in fuel range between the two. I have several Rotopax components already including two 2-gal tanks and a couple of mounts. At very least I was planning on mounting it with rubber tarp straps or bungees on the back seat. There must be a better way though.

Good to hear that the 2-gallon version will fit in the frunk!
