Go Back to ADV...re find the Pic of the bike with said fuel carrier..... then either PM the poster asking them about Fuel carrier OR hit the "quote" button and ask the question Publicly and someone else may respond.

Thats what I usually do.

Mainly they are a friendly bunch!

You didn't mention what KTM you had?

David Lambeth has fitted a set of rear KTM rally tanks to my 2000 640 Adventure. There are a number of posts on the KTM tech section over the last two years on this topic which describe what sort of rally tanks can be fitted, as the tank design has slightly changed over the last 10 years.

Overland Solutions can also fabricate tanks to fit a 640 Adv. Again there are several posts on this topic previously or you can check their website.

Both Acerbis and Baja Designs also sell rear tanks that may be suitable, depending on the type of bike.

cheers

might check tourtank.com. we bought our 4.5usgal aux tank from them but because we have a scooter just put it under the seat and ran the line to the tank which is only 16 inches away. when we need the extra fuel just pop open the seat and fill it along with the 4 gal regular tank. that gives us about 450 miles. the sell all the connections and different size tanks so they might sell racks.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
