Default 1 gallon external fuel tank

We are working on a external fuel tank for the Honda Fury, but before we invest in manufacturing this product, we need some feedback on function vs. cost.
Currently the Honda Fury goes 120-140 miles from the 3.4 gallon tank which is average is 38 miles to the gallon. If you could get another gallon of gas which would give you a range of approx 170 miles. Would you spend $300 for this bolt on kit?
For us this product has been a toss up and for some it might be worth it. We just need some feed back to decide if we will invest in this product or not. How bad do you need improved mileage range out of your Fury?
Thank you all for your support, we are proud Fury owners and are excited to build more product.

if it was like 100 to 150 i could see it but 300 a little much just to not stop at a station a little sooner ...great idea just may not be worth the cost for all the intowners we have riding in the forum

Yep we sold our Fury, but we have few more on the way.

As for the Vespa comment... Seadawg, he just wants us for our parts not our mind.

I with you on this one. In fact, I live in wide-open Nevada, but I absolutely refuse to ride for more than 100 miles without stopping for a break, and even out here you can always find a station within 100 miles.

Cheers

I like the idea of an external tank, but would have to weigh what it looked like on the bike against the cost. now if it was integrated into the duel air filter set up, i would buy it. Use the extra space behind the filter where the shitty tool box was. I would be first in line to get one.

You will not see it behind the motor, under the swing arm. If your slightly interested then email us at Sales@lowandmean.com "External fuel tank"

Yeah I have to agree after everything I have spent this wouldn't be something I'd buy
