Default Flexible Gas Bladder

What do you guys think of this unit for long haul fuel storage inside a front or rear l&R box? Looks like a solid unit. Kind of $$, but need something other than cans corded to the racks.

Fire, My XP has power steering, so the PS unit itself actually consumes the space where the tank should be. The EPS rigs hold 1/2 gallon less than the standard XP. I'm down to 4 1/2 gallons of capacity on this thirsty pig. Got to come up with something other than a 1 gallon jug bouncing around on the front rack.

Yeah I've seen the Kolpin tanks, but I think I like these better, idk. The koplins are flat and fit right on the rack and you can stack things on top of them, but I think they only carry 1 gallon.

The Kolpin fuel packs hold 4 galons in the regular size and 1.5 gallons in the junior size. I just bungee a gas can to my rear rack if I think I need it. I have 2.5 and 5 gallon cans. I don't have a rear box because I can't find one my gas cans or cooler fit in.

Frank....Can't you strap that beast to the front rack? Why does it have to be on the rear?

I already have a brushguard, Glacier plow mount, and winch on the front. I don't want any more weight on the front end. My cooler self-destructs if it's on the front anyway. It seems to bounce more than the back.

Sorry....was thinking the front rack, in a horizontal fashion, not the vertical front plane of the bike. Didn't make that clear.

I assumed you meant lying on the front rack but I want to keep weight off it.
