larrybuck, Where did you get your plastic spare wheel well tank? I'm looking at going the smaller main tank route. My 5 mile commute 4 days a week means filling up the 12 gallon tank every 2 months. So for the first month I'm carring around 35lbs of fuel I won't need for several weeks. So my plan is to get 5-6 gallon spare wheel well tank and remove the main tank. 35lbs of fuel and 10-20 lbs of steel in the 12 gallon tank weight savings for my 22 stop lights in 5 miles.
