As a rule, fuel cells are generic. You order the size tank you want and adapt a mount to hang it onto the bike. There are several manufacturers.Steve, who makes auxiliary fuel tanks for R1200s?
at the end of the day (pick your day), as far as i am concerned all that matters is enjoying the ride. 'nuff said.
O.K. you show me how you average more than 35mph on non-Interstate roads over an 8 hour riding day. That will have to include breaks an gas stops. I was in New Mexico on vacation with a bike in 2001 and 2003. Travelled from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, Albuquerque to Roswell to Ruidoso to Las Cruzes, Ruidoso to Fort Sumner and back. All what I consider non-Interstate. No way I averaged more than 350 miles on any day with 10 hours riding.
The fact that Mr. Simon is unable to ride at the same level isn't relevant to the fact that others can and do daily.
I always knew that the "iron butt guys" had to prove something...
Not skill, though to safely ride, skill is involved.
Not belittling anyone. However, your earlier post questioned the honesty of Paul and Voni, and others that stay on the motorcycle longer than you do, was read by me as not believing what they posted.
Here's a clue - Voni Glaves has ridden BMWs more than a CERTIFIED million miles. According to your math - that's impossible in the time frame she did so.

Harry and a few others are on track- ride for enjoyment. Don't feel bad when someone does 10 times the mileage you do. A misspent youth (and a few other things) mean for me a great day is 100 miles. Hopefully everyone will have a safe summer of riding as far as they like to go.This thread is for us low-mileage riders. As I pointed out, there are reasons I'll never get anywhere near the amount of miles others ride........
Not all of us can be contenders for the mileage contest, and this thread is for those people.

I'm not sure why some people insist on measuring others against what works for them. We're all different. The world would be a pretty boring place if we were all the same.

. Knowing our traffic engineers in the U.S., anything with a 70mph limit is straight! No turns! Most states in the Union do not have non-Interstate roads with a 70 mph speed limit.
When a person who rides the average 10k miles or less try's to understand what motivates a LD rider, it is like a 10 mile a week jogger trying to understand a person who runs marathons repeatedly. Same sport; different levels of commitment.
