On a carbed bike you can use either one first. But if your main tank has a gauge then use your Tour Tank first and then your main tank that way you will have...

Puke tanks are required in some states such as calf. It keeps any drips of gas off the ground. In theory you could get some drops of gas out the rollover...

Just be sure when you mount the tank you figure on the weight. I'd assume 10lbs / gallon. I bring it up because I have broken two luggage racks on my V-Rod,...
