Thanks!
Touring with an extra tank of gas
Going on a trip with a 410km (255 mile) stretch between gas stations. Hopefully this will do it!
3.7 liter (1 gallon) Rotopax, 7.6 liter (2 gallon) Giant Loop gas bag and a 2 liter (1/2 gallon) Touratech fuel canister in a 5.11 Tactical pouch.
Usually only need the 2 liter filled for emergencies and the Rotopax for more remote areas. The gas bag can be rolled up for all but the long stretches.
If this works, the Fury could do the Dalton or the Dempster if gravel isn't a concern!
Think I'll continue to avoid gravel if possible though.

Originally I ordered the mounts in black powder coat with the sissy bar and parts where the sissy inserts in chrome. I figured this would hide the mount on my black 2010 and highlight the chrome. When I bought the red 2017 which had more blacked out parts, I ordered the insert part in black powder coat to highlight the blacked out parts.
Either way the Ginz sissy bar just looks good regardless of the colors.
I think Ginz was getting sick of me calling them explaining which parts I wanted chrome and which black! Apparently I couldn't just comply with the program and choose one color
I suspect the gallon will be plenty but always good to have an idea of where you will be fueling. Have a good time on your ride!
For two up and camping I would agree unless you outfit it with more luggage space. Travelling solo, and without the need to carry camping supplies, and with a decent seat and riding gear, no challenge just great fun! I can't get enough of it!! I put many miles on my old Shadow Spirit as well which, with it's detachable saddle bags and bigger windscreen, was arguably a better touring bike but.... I'd still choose the Fury!
