Spare Fuel Tanks / Containers
You can buy a pair of 1.5 liter camping gas bottles that you can fit in the saddlebags when on a road trip to give a little insurance against running dry. 1)
Only problem with the bottles is the small neck size that makes filling from a gas pump difficult and messy.
Below is a 1975 Honda CT90 auxiliary gas tank. 2) \\
It holds 2.3 liters (.6 gallons), has a nice large opening for filling from a pump.
It also has a flexible hose and cap for emptying the gas into the bike's tank.
It's About the size of a canteen and fully designed for gas storage.
These tanks can command a hefty price on Ebay due to their rarity in good condition.
However, if you know someone who has an old CT90 in their shed, maybe you could borrow/buy the little gas tanks.
