Has anyone ever added an additional fuel tank to extend mileage or found an aftermarket larger fuel tank?
The C50 is not a good candidate for an extra tank because of room and the fuel injection system with the pump in the tank....Has anyone ever added an additional fuel tank to extend mileage or found an aftermarket larger fuel tank?
What is your concern? There are only a few areas in the contiguous states that you would be hard pressed to find fuel within the C50 range. Even at interstate speed, 2-3 hour ride is about time to stop for a short break. Even carrying an extra fuel container requires you to stop and add fuel to the gas tank and that would be one gallon or an extra 40+ miles or 30-40 minute range. Not a big difference to make it worth it.Has anyone ever added an additional fuel tank to extend mileage or found an aftermarket larger fuel tank?
There are lots of aftermarket seats out there. I have a Mustang seat and it's very comfortable, huge improvement over the stock saddle.Well; I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a aching butt after riding for just an hour. I thought it might just be my old age. So, how do we fix this problem. I'm looking into adding a gel pad between the foam and the leather cover on my seat. I've been contemplating a long ride from Texas to Colorado and I'd rather not have to stop every hour.
The Mustang seat set up will solve many of the butt sore issues. I rode from Houston to Boulder over 4 days ride and felt comfortable all day long. Each day was slightly less than 400 miles or 10 hrs including fuel stops, lunch and scenic views. My suggestion is to modify the MC seat with whatever you can afford with a new seat, more padding, or add-on accessory. I also ride with bicycle padded shorts under my riding pants. Helps a lot. Work up to those all day rides little by little and train your body to have lots of seat time before you head out to CO.Well; I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a aching butt after riding for just an hour.

Get yourself a Mustang or Ultimate seat and a driver's backrest and you will ride all day with no issues.Well; I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a aching butt after riding for just an hour.
