John103. That is some serious fuel capacity brotha.
But I've been to Vegas, it is surrounded by a whole lot of nothin'
- good idea

 

Crashing would definitely be an issue.

 

I have one of Bake's 1.1 gallon tanks and can vouch for its durability. It survived the 2009 Los Angeles to Barstow to Las Vegas dual sport ride, and also a three day solo trip along the old Mojave Road. I was so thorough that I even crash tested the tank a few times... which had nothing to with my riding of course. ;-) The mounting brackets have just enough give in them that the tank can bend a bit out of the way during unscheduled landings. I only managed to make a small scratch in the tank. Thing is, aircraft quality aluminum sheet like Bake uses is really though stuff. My dad worked in aerospace and would bring home samples for us to try and bend.
