You can buy the Rockhard tank mount for the left side, it fits without any problems. I'll post up pics of ours. Their trail rack works as well with a little modification (sectioned to lower the mounting height) and you can run the right tank mount as well. One thing of note is that the right tank mount has a gap due to the way the tire mount is not centered by design. I'll look for better pics but here are a couple to give you an idea of what you can do...





This pic shows the gap as a by-product of the SB tire mount being off center. It really does allow you to mount something in the gap so I see it as a positive.

Yep, though you might have to modify a little if you've moved your license plate:

check out Rotopax fuel cells!

rotopax.com

they're thin and easy to mount. They sell mounting brackets that look like they could bolt on pretty easy. Whne I'm ready, i thnk thats the route I'm going.
