Rotopax fuel water and storage............
Stopped by my neighbor tonight who is a motorcycle & ATV accessory business and bought a set of rotopax for my 4 wheeler to carry extra water and fuel. Found he had 1 gallon ones now which are perfect for an adventure bike! May end up putting a couple on the hawk so i can get out further into the mountains......

I like the one gallon idea; I haven't seen one that small.

I like the rotopax set up as well. However, at the moment i have a 1.5 liter fuel bottle I bought. Only downfall is it is hard to pour the fuel out of it. I did not look into the rotopax deep enough, but how easy is it to pour gas or water out? you still need a funnel? if so, that's more space for stuff you really don't want to carry.

Ron, that is similar to what I bought. I just need to figure out a mounting bracket. My fuel canister is larger than those. |

Does one of those 4 cycle engineered fuel bottles fit in that burrito tube? It is said that that fuel will last up to 3 years or longer.

I went with the MSR fuel bottle and the Wolfman bottle holder. I used some strap tie down loops mounted to the left case to hold it.

Rotopax is a good system.
I used to throw 1-2 1.5L fuel bottles in my pack but no longer need to do that with my desert tank. I had considered Rotopax previously. A little pricey.
