"AA" - With "THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650" at +/- 50 MPG that would give me an extra 65 miles +/- for an approximate total of 245 miles.... NICE. Might be getting me one of those too. The DR holds 3.6 gallons. The only thing I noticed as an anal analytical asshole is the bolts may be poking up into the plastic - unless the hole below is large enough around to allow them to stick up a little bit without creating a problem. Anyway, nice install !!! - I like working with my hands as well - and 9 times out of 10 - I'll come up with a better solution too.... Nice job Amigo... 😬
I thought the same thing about the bolts but it worked out perfectly and fit fine...I will probably do another vid on the can when I use it more. The stainless bolts worked really well.
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you could show how to fill it in and put fuel from it to your motorcycle (for security purpose) and also explain what is the small cap used for ?
Yeah, for sure...It is still holding up very good and is working great. It gives me 50 percent more fuel. And thanks for subbing...I will start doing more vids soon...I haven't had the time lately to do them.
Reece, Good video, I picked up the same "Long Haul" but in black. I never thought of bolts so I used the U-bolts, but it was 100 in the garage, and I was fried. Great idea I may redo mine before I use it, have you had any leaking issues with it?? It is a heavy-duty plastic for sure. Hope all is well.
I took it on a week off road trip in the black hills of South Dakota and it worked great ...Haven't had an issue yet..Have had them for years now...Thanks buddy for watching...
Me and my son are planning a trip to Topeka, Kansas to visit my Great Grandfather's grave. My son has a Yamaha TW200. I plan on taking country roads and old forgotten highways to get there to stay off main highways and freeways...The tank gives me a range of about 240 miles...Just a little bit of no walking insurance...
So far the can has been excellent. I have it on the back of my bike all the time and it is still tight and secure. I don't have the can filled all the time just for extended rides.
Good vid. Extra gas might be the thing coming up here next month in July 2021. Im hearing whispers of gas and electrical grid shutdown lol. I guess we will see. Better to have extra than not.
So far I have had it about 2 years and no complaints. It gives you 50 percent more fuel range..I'm sure the rotopax is better quality but it is also way more money...For what riding I do, mostly trail riding, it has worked just fine.
It does come with a spout it is not inside the tank and when you open it you can put the spout on...My tank has not leaked. I haven't used it that much I will say though..Haven't been on alot of extended rides.
I used it on my last trip to Black Hills of SD and it still worked like a champ...This was in July...I have no issues with this system yet...Thanks for the question...
Just to give you some input it will not work with rotopax adapter, I have the one gallon on the CRF250L and no go on that I was so disappointed but its OK.
If you never bought anything from China then you can comment...Yes, I try to buy American when I can...I looked into the rotopax but we're out at the time for my size...But don't be a hypocrite and say you never bought anything other than American made...I call BS, and nothing worse than a hypocrite....

Cool I was thinking of doing the same
@@ajaxracing It is a nice tank for the price.
I had done the same save for using a lock washer w/ wing nuts - in order to easily remove the base (to flatten) the luggage rack if needed.
Yeah, I just used it on my long Black Hills ride and it worked like a champ...
Thanks for the video.

Great vid! it really is a great can works well and super heavy duty! thanks so much for the plug man.
extra gas is always good to have. thanks for the video.
Agreed, but the wife hates it...😂
Thank you for this vid, I didn't want to have to spend $200 to mount a Rotopax fuel can to my KTM 525 EXC
Yeah, for sure...It is still holding up very good and is working great. It gives me 50 percent more fuel. And thanks for subbing...I will start doing more vids soon...I haven't had the time lately to do them.
It has doubled in price since!
Wow... Everything has doubled in price it seems...
This one even has a lock for $35
These things are great. I just bought one WITH THE MOUNT fit 42 Australian dollars! The Rotopax are such a rip off!
You are 100 percent correct. My long haul has worked great..Thanks for watching

That should give you a huge range! Are you planning on a long distance trip?

Nice setup, how do you like the gas can so far? Any leakage? and hows the tightening handel holding up

Jeez, skyrocketing prices, hackers disrupting our fuel and food supply, inflation rising...What the hell is going on?
Thanks for the video. How's the Long Haul 2 years on?
Just used it on a week trip in the Black Hills and it was great....Didn't need it but once but it was there and held the extra fuel well.
Looking to put this on my drz. Do you recommend this gas can???

@@imyourhuckleberry357 man that’s awesome. Those rotopacks were way to much money. Thank you👍👍
@@The_Kayak_Guy. No problemo...Thanks for watching.
Does it come with a spout for easy filling up the bike? Does it leak when closed or when pouring gas on bike? Thanks
It does come with a spout it is not inside the tank and when you open it you can put the spout on...My tank has not leaked. I haven't used it that much I will say though..Haven't been on alot of extended rides.
illinois :)
Yes, sir....
nice review.. what tank bag are u using?
I have a nelson right tank bag and it has been super...Here is a link to the review video I made for it...czcams.com/video/Umej9yZCrsQ/video.html
Did this end up leaking ?
I used it on my last trip to Black Hills of SD and it still worked like a champ...This was in July...I have no issues with this system yet...Thanks for the question...
Any long term issues with leakage?
I have only used the tank three times and it was fine...I only fill the tank when going on known extended rides
Interesting, wonder if it would work with a regular rotopax bracket.
I'm thinking it might...But I'm not sure...They both look about the same bracket...I subbed your channel...Thanks
Just to give you some input it will not work with rotopax adapter, I have the one gallon on the CRF250L and no go on that I was so disappointed but its OK.
Where did you buy this ?
Sorry for the delay...I bought it on eBay...Long haul gas can...
I cannot find it on eBay rn for that cheap got a link or alternate site ?
