What's your best mod?

Aux tank that's effectively tripled my range before I need to stop and fill up - I hate stopping and it means I can get even further off the beaten track

Triple range? That would be around 12 extra gallons.

My best custom mod is raising my handlebars 2 inches.

What did you use to raise? Lamonster kit, etc.?

Where do you keep that tank? Pics please

it's mounted on my rear rack (big cylinder in pic that looks like a mini beer barrel) and plumbed into the main tank so as fuel is used from the main tank more is pulled through. Here is a closeup of it mounted and also how the pipe feeds through via a quick release connector:

I'm not sure on the exact capacity as I was given the tank by someone after helping them out (long story). However because its plumbed into the top of my main tank it allows me to completely fill that as well, if you have an RS you'll know they are really hard to fill - and being a 2011 RS has a lot lower range than the newer models. So with gas stations being few and far between here the furthest I'd risk is 200km before looking to fill-up, even then I've run out once when the pump was out of action and the next gas station was too far. Now I can do 400km before gas gauge starts to drop which means I can treat my main tank as a massive reserve

Rough guesstimate, the tank looks like it's gonna hold something like 40 litres, so close to double the standard tanks 'useable fuel' capacity of a tad over 20 litres to the filler ring. hyea: Then when you add in the extra capacity you get by completely filling the standard tank (not so much air or expansion gap above the filler) it's pretty easy to see how a tank like that, to give you better than 60 litres of gas all up, could triple the Spyder's original range!! :yes: :clap:

I want one!! hyea: There again, given that I have an RT, I think it might not be able to work quite the same way? :banghead: Oh well, still thinkin'
