For those robots that neither need a pee-break or sleep, this will easily get you to Sturgis and back with 150 gal capacity. Don't smoke and drive.

Sometimes 2 pee stops.

That's why I don't ride with younger riders.

I do carry 2 small gas bottles on long trips - just in case. Never had to use one yet.

Can you tell me more about the gas bottles

You can also use these: https://www.msrgear.com/stoves/msr-fuel-bottles

I had a couple of them - one for each saddlebag.

Then I switched to this: http://www.reda-innovations.com/reda-gas-can

Haven't taken that long a trip since I got my trike so not sure what I'll use. The Reda can is made for a saddlebag but it would no doubt fit in the trunk. And it holds a full gallon whereas the MSR bottles only hold about a quart - so two of the + 1/2 gallon. But they are smaller and might be easier to deal with in the trunk with luggage. We'll see.

When Old Shiney needs to fill up it's tank I need to empty out mine. Unless the extended travel into remote places is in the plan then you need every drop you can get. A larger tank say 8 gallons would be interesting to see. travel safe Fred

I equate larger gas tanks with Chainsaws ....I have a 12 inch saw, So i cut 12 inch trees..

So i get a 14 inch saw to make it easier, Now im cutting 14 inch tress...Then up grade to 18 inch saw, Yep 18 inch trees now...

6gal tank 200 miles to low, 7 gal tank 235 to low...8gal tank 270 to low....You'll just ride longer till you start having gas anxiety;AKA= staring at a low light...

Those 1 gallon Reda cans are leak proof & very nice without taking much space.

They are very easy to pack around. Put a small amount of Stabil in the empty tank & your ready to go.

Many HD dealers carry them.

I bought mine at Cabelas.

They are leak proof, but I also put them into a vacuum sealed bag - just for piece of mind.

I wonder if it is actually a usable 6.6 gallons, or those lower points are always full and counted?

It looked like to me that one might actually have less usable(accessible) gas than with a stock tank. They used to make (maybe still do) fat boy tanks that held 7 gallons. They had no fancy design, just looked like the stock fat boys only bigger.

We had a Goldwing with a California SideCar kit and it had the auxiliary gas tank. It was a nice piece of mind thing to have. Wish there was something like it for the TG, built in...auto fill from main tank.
