There is even a Red R100GS in your website's Customer Motorcycle Photos section that shows a mounting setup of this type.
Will you be offering something along these lines soon?

Still waiting on a reply to this...

One can fits perfectly flat on the pro moto billet rack, and I use two Rok Straps to secure it. Crash tested with no movement or leaking.

How did you secure it to the rack???

I just placed an order for the fuel packs. Jason is giving ADV members 20% off on all products.. Great stuff at a great price..

Are the springs in the eco spout known to fall out or is it just me? Two of them on my new 1 gallon cans decided that they didn't want to stay put. The spouts still work but without the springs.

I have the pro moto billet rack and run one rok strap side to side and one lengthwise. The
excess is tucked into the center opening of the rotopax can.

I just placed an order for four two gallon tanks and four locking pack mounts. The discount for ADVRIDER is currently 15%. Discount was about $60 and freight was about $40 so the discount was the better deal.

I picked up a pair of 1 Gal Rotopax a few years ago and these things are awsome! Last year we rode through temperatures ranging from below 30 degrees to over 100 degrees in a matter of half a day and althought they looked like ballons we didn't have a single leak and they still work great!

With the big Touratech gas tank I don't need the extra fuel often now so I was just on to order water cans but the website insn't working today (I'm sure they will fix it soon)

I have now read several posts from inmates that are unhappy with the locking mount not *unlocking*.

I'm wondering if this is an *old* problem since resolved, and if there is a known *fix*?

I'd contact Jason at Rotopax directly. He's a super nice guy and I'm sure he'll give you the straight story if there is a problem.

Agreed. he is a nice guy, no doubt. But I felt the subject was worthy of an explanation in the thread since it has been mentioned several times, and other users/potential customers should hear it from the horse's mouth.

The locking mount would be an integral part of the system for me, and if it is not stone-cold reliable, I would be more inclined to look at a bladder, instead.

And I have no intention of disparaging Rotopax at all. I would prefer to use it before the other choices in the market. But I would like Jason's thoughts, and I felt others might also.

I noticed they currently have free shipping to the lower 48. does this work along with the ADV discount? or am i being greedy.

If there's a way to make it work I'd be all over it. As is, they don't stack.

Mullet Bullet · 01-22-2012, 10:40 AM

same here, I am ready to order but I'm also a cheap bastard.

panorton · 01-30-2012, 06:47 PM

Just got my 1 gallon containers. I am blown away by the ruggedness of them. They seem like they could take some serious abuse.

WERA456 · 01-30-2012, 07:49 PM

I want some. Just need to figure out where to mount them
