Xsr900Rider Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looking at any innovative ideas for carrying 1 or 2 1.5 liter gas bottles on my XSR900. I find the range leaves a little to be desired and I would feel more comfortable going on long runs in areas I'm unfamiliar if I had that little bit of extra gas. I pulled rear pegs but now am considering if that might be a decent attach point or even getting bags for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 If you can get bags on it and be happy with that, that is the way to go. Lots of safe storage options for in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xsr900Rider Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yeah I think that may be the way to go. I've seen behind license plate bracket or on subframe of other bikes but I would worry about punctures if I laid it down and spilling gas as I slide if it is on outside of bike. Like it without bags but think functionality of having a little space would be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Beautiful ride, I almost bought it when the dealer gave a very good deal, for once I was a big boy and said no to motodrugs the few things I wanted to add right away in my dream xsr was a center stand, switch out the stock tensioner , and add the cylinder gas canister. I can't find now where I saw it, but there was a pretty cool faux leather like carrier bag with gas bottle that kinda looked stock for the xsr. Good luck, welcome and enjoy that beautiful bike.

Xsr900Rider Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks for the ideas. I'll do some research on bags and if I don't see any I like then I'll do the bag on the handlebars of long trips and leave it off for short runs.
