6.4 gallon (24.2 liter) Fuel Cell?

Cycle World, the August 2009 issue, has a brief description of an axillary fuel tank that is designed for the Ducati Hypermotard.

We are probably a much smaller market with our Tuonos. Still, I'm dropping them a line showing my interest. Sure, it will add some fuel weight when fully loaded, but at least a fill-up is an option. Sometimes quite a number of subscribers logged on the board, so, if you're interested, put in a good word. Thanks! Here is the article:

I ran out of time on the edit attempting to upload a screen capture of the article. See the web address below if I don't get anything posted later.

Anyway, the unit is a polyethylene affair that resides below the stock tank. So, the bike is not altered in appearance. The unit comes with a replacement starter cable, custom air filters, hardware and instructions. Sells for $799 US (566.61 Euro). Here is the web address listed: www.ca-cycleworks.com. Cheers!

You're totally right! The original (true) exists below the false (feux?) shell that appears to be a tank.

Here is a response from a company representative regarding tooling up for the large fuel tank. BikePilot has noted some considerations and maybe someone else might have an idea or heard feedback on this application. Contact the company and put your name on a commitment list if this seems like a decent option for your needs.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for writing and sorry for the delay in response. We have had a lot of requests to make tanks for other bikes and we are willing to look into it. The only thing we need before starting a new project is at least 50 people to step up and commit to buying it by putting their name on a pre-order list. If you want to start a thread on a forum that is usually the best way to see if there is enough interest out there. Hope you can understand that designing and bringing to market a new tank is a big investment.

Thanks,
Candice
