Anyone know where to buy handlebar mounted fuel jugs?

[kdxcookie]

I am looking for those 2 liter handlebar mounted fuel jugs. I am planning some long distace back-country riding north of Gold Bridge, BC next summer.

I used to see them at Rocky Mountain MC a few years ago and now I 'm looking to buy one and can't find any.

Any ideas guys?

not sure about any handle bar mounted tanks. Do you mean these that mount on the forks? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/9/188/1476/ITEM/Acerbis-Front-Auxiliary-Tank.aspx

Maier has one.

Stuff moving around on the bars can be distracting. Instead of jug on your bars, you might consider carrying a few 1 quart oil bottles filled with fuel in a back back or fanny pack, and then dumping them in to the tank as soon as you have gone 20 miles or so.

As an old enduro rider, that sounds like good advice to me....for several reasons.

I've always wondered if the reservoir on the 89-94 could be used to hold extra fuel. I have a '94 and considered putting one on the other side of the bike. If you want to see a photo, go to the online parts catalog at bikebandit or somewhere and look under "radiator". I bet you could use some hose clamps to fasten that to a 97 - up KDX rear subframe. They go for about $32

They show up on ***bay all the time, new ones too. I've used one on my KDX as well as other older bikes, never had a problem on the cross bar. I always dump it in as soon as there is room in the fuel tank.
