I love the concept of the aux tank: it looks nice, fills out the rear of the bike, ties direct to the main tank, and is pretty innovative just generally. I've never seen one in person, but in the pictures the thing looks pretty vulnerable. It's plastic, it juts out far past where the crash bars would help, and it looks like it would be a contact point even if the bike were down on a perfectly flat surface. For low-risk, long distance touring it looks amazing if you can live without pannier racks. For higher-risk off-roading it looks stressful, particularly as it'll be full of petrol.
Has anyone had a chance to try it out and perceive the durability of the aux tank?
