  • £220 I’d be spitting feathers.

    Don't. I've just about managed to mentally (and emotionally) move on. The only saving grace is I now have an annual membership, but that's not much comfort. Because it was such a silly breakdown makes it even worse, at least if your engine seized that would feel like a worthwhile reason to call the RAC. Cheers for the jerry can links, will look at the measurements and buy accordingly.

  • The Givi is available for under £16 inc post on ebay. It is the largest.

    I paid £16 through my mechanics for a 2L with the smaller spout and it’s sat unused. You need a funnel to fill it up, which is my main reason for leaving it at home. Send me a message if you want exact specs.

    Edit: the Fantic owner friend was planning to use an alu 1L (camping) fuel bottle, but I think on anything bigger than a 250, 1L is nigh on worthless.

  • Much appreciated for the info, and agreed on my 1L and 0.75L bikes having a slightly larger reserve is probably sensible.

  • I've used a Sigg camping fuel bottle in the past. Whatever they used as a gasket didn't like premixed petrol so I replaced it with one cut from nitrile rubber - been ok so far.

    The extra 1L is worth it for me -gives an extra 40+ miles range, but then my machines barely count as motorcycles.
