I'm looking for ideas on how to mount 2X 1 lL fuel bottles on the bike. I have the BMW panniers and a Givi V47 top box on my 2018 R1200RS.
I'm doing a 10 day trip to Baja, Mx and there is one section of road that has 210 miles/338 km between gas which is at the very limit of my range.

I prefer my gas bags over bottles. Rolled up flat or into a roll they aren't in the way [ can be strapped any way you like to the bike ]. Fill it when that time comes when you may need extra gas [ 2 1 gallon bags ] and ride 100 miles, put the gas from the bags into the tank, roll them back up and store them again on the bike.

I agree and picked up a 6L Desert Fox gas bag over xmas. Easy to store and easy to strap to passenger seat when I need it.

For your question though on storing bottles (or if you often ride with passenger), I think I'd lean on the adventure community and buy some black storage tubes to mount to the inside of my SHAD luggage racks, storing gas bottles therein, hoping there's enough space between the bag tires that won't interfere with luggage. I believe @fred_jb had some mounted under his... which I was considering copying ;)

you can see pix of this here in post #8: Pros/Cons of 3 luggage options: H&B, Givi, Shad

Here's a copy of my post from Wayne's site.

I've seen Giant Loop mentioned several times. Smallest size is 1 gallon.

Desert Fox is another company. They have a 3 liter bag.

If you already have a bag you can carry on the back seat the cheapest option is to carry a couple fuel bottles in the bag.

The bags are nice because they don't take up much room when not carrying fuel in them.

I ordered a Chinesium Rotopax knock off and I'll fabricate a mounting plate for the top of my Givi V47 top box. Thanks for the ideas. Motorcycle-Fuel-Tank-Petrol-Cans-Barrels-Can-Gas-Spare-Container-Anti-static-Jerry-Can-Polaris-Fuel.jpg_640x640.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
