New Gas Can - Givi Tank!

[TrailBoss]

I had a "Long Haul 3L" can mounted on the rear G-Craft rack, but I didn't like it. IMO the mount on this solution is poorly designed. It doesn't get tight no matter what you do.



I decided to go with a different solution, and tried out the Givi "Tank" TAN01 can with holder. I mounted it on the center rack, which for me has been empty space, and it turned out excellent. The mount fit PERFECTLY on the Motoskill rack, with the 4 required holes all hitting sufficient metal so I didn't need to fab up an adapter plate.



The only fiddly extra was I needed to drill a 1/2" hole in the Givi support base so that I can get the Motoskill rack bolt in/out when needed without removing the Tank support. You can see it here:



After all that it's a perfect fit, is super stable, and having the weight of the fuel up front will be better for mass centralization. Overall a big two thumbs up for this. The clamshell holder will also easily accommodate a dry bag or something similar if extra fuel is not needed.

where did you get that and the holder?

where did you get that and the holder?

The Tank is GIVI-TAN01. The holder is GIVI-E205.

I buy all my Givi stuff from https://mototstorm.it. Beware, if you have issues Givi USA will not support you, so if you buy from there you're basically buying without a warranty. Otherwise it looks like Revzilla is where you need to go if you want to order from a US distributor.

That is the best solution I've seen. Do you think there would be a way to fab up some sort of quick release so that you only add the tank when you will need it?

mis-spelled the link. pretty cool, 40 bucks for the mount? lol. but all together not bad. looks like 82 bucks shipped to the us.

https://tourandride.com is Givi's USA subsidiary and https://twistedthrottle.com is another USA supplier of Givi products.

I don't think I've ever filed a warranty claim with Givi USA, but their support are more than happy to point you to replacement "spare parts" to purchase if you have a seal or something fail out of warranty.

cheaper going direct from trailboss's links. im not getting either, but i like the concept for sure. I already have 2 primus bottles if i need to carry fuel.

As I await my Long Haul 3L from Thailand due to arrive in May, I like that setup, looks quality, but I really want to keep my center rack available for anything but fuel. I will do what it takes to make my Long Haul work. I like the looks of the rear side mount and that’s just a great place for a spare fuel container on a bike that doesn’t have a lot of places to put anything.
