Many people use Rotopax setups, maybe check those out...

 

Rotopax look nice. $80 for a two gallon can and a mount does not. Also have my light bar bolted in the front holes on the rack so that takes away a rotopax to sit flat on the rack.

The metal rack on my old L model was far more useful for strapping things down. At least I didn't have to watch the whole rack buckle like the plastic ones do with a ratchet strap.

 

Mine work great, have these on 4 Can am’s and no issues. You have to just adjust the linq mounts right and they snap right in. I add one rubber strap for safety.

 

How's the ski Doo tank hold up in the sun?

 

They hold up great, no issues in direct sun. I use them on sleds in winter so they get lots of use....like all gas cans especially in rough terrain you have to open the cap once in a while to release the
pressure

 

I did see arrow atv has a strap system for gas cans,might want to check them out. I did purchase a full set of custom aluminum linq rack corners from them last year one of the best investments I made to my 14 650 .

 

Easily modified Rotopax standard mount with M10 stud, nut, washers and thumbwheel locates to the rearmost centre hole on the front LinQ rack.

Then 2 x 1 gallon Rotopax mounted atop are rock solid and leave plenty of clearance at the front and enough space on either side to take my Ortleib 22litre dry bags.

Rotopax fuel containers are probably the best on the market but a quick scan through eBay will show similar cans and mounts at more competitive pricing.

This is exactly what I need considering my space requirements in the front. Thanks much. If the "mini" ratchet straps I ordered don't work to hook close to the center of the rack then I guess I'll drop some cash.

Did you have to remove the front rack to attach the modified rotopax mount?

How do they hold up to aggressive riding? Gotta keep up with a dirt bike on occasion.

 

Any ideas, design, or product recommendations would be appreciated.

There's been quite a few different designs out here thru the years, I used to bungy a couple of small cans for longer hauls but grew tired of that. So I went the Linq fuel caddy route. On/off with ease BUT they are pricey.
Here's a link to some of the members ideas, setups and designs.

What is your setup for spare fuel?

Looking for good solutions, pictures, product reviews for carrying spare fuel. Especially interested in seeing folks setup with linq racks and front rack ideas; really not enjoying these racks.

Rotopax here. Simply used the generic bracket that it came with and got some stainless hardware and it lined up perfect with some holes in the rack works great for me

 

If you’re into custom making something, here’s some pictures (and other ideas from folks here) on what I did.https://www.can-amforum.com/threads/what-is-your-setup-for-spare-fuel.135541/#post-1223469
