I have a new 1996 K11RS i'm trying to get set up for touring:

Regarding adding a fuel cell: i've got one already- just need a rack solution for above the passengers seat and then routing/tapping in suggestions: gravity feed versus into the tank, etc....

Any help anyone could give would be appreciated. I've emailed BLM accessories three times and haven't heard back and there's no provision to contact them via phone so i'm surveying ye the membership for solutions!

Cheers,

My mounting solution won't help you much, mine is in the sidecar trunk, sorry.

The way mine is setup, used an electric fuel pump to pump from aux tank to return line on main tank. You'll also need a shut off valve, even with a check valve the return line has enough pressure to pump gas back into the auxillary tank.

I found a tech article somewhere on the hook up, will post it if I come accross it.

Good luck

Hey Thanks a LOT!
That guy's got it going on with the same set up for the fuel cell I had in mind except making a rack for it that goes over the rear seat. I appreciate that very much.
