       Pawnee Plate for Rotopax

       Hey all,
       As part of today's install-a-thon, I also affixed my Pawnee
       Plate (by Wolfman) to my Touratech Side Racks.  The installation
       was straightforward.  If I was a welder I could easily have
       crafted brackets that would have accomplished the same thing,
       but I'm not.

       My Rotopax is a 1.75 gallon.  If you stand it on the opposing
       corner from the cap, you can actually fit a full 2 gallons in
       it.  It's a tad larger than the 1 gallon, but empty it weighs a
       negligible amount less than the 1.75 (2) gallon tank.  I can
       always carry less gas if I want a lighter load, but at least I
       have the option to carry more if I need it.  Five gallons of gas
       gives me a safe range of 200 miles and an actual range closer to
       250.  I've never needed more than 200.
       I've used Rotopax in the past and I swear by them.  Practically
       indestructible and leak free (even vapor--so be sure to burp
       them occasionally on hot days).
       I have the option to mount the Rotopax in a vertical or
       horizontal position.  I'm not sure which position is stronger.
       Opinions?
