*Please Make a Note for Different Brand Racks. Because we have different parts for different Racks.
Kindly Reminder: please make sure main tank and auxiliary fuel tank should be fully filled.
Easy to install, factory looking fit and convenient. Occupying the unused space between the rear tire and the pannier rack, the CG tank keeps the fuel weight low, balances the weight of the exhaust system on the other side and leaves your rear rack free for a duffle bag or top box.
Add extra range to your BMWR1200GS/R1200GSAdventure/R1250GS/R1250GSAdventure with the auxiliary gas tank from CG motoparts. Whether you need more fuel so you can iron-butt it to your next destination, explore a Backcountry Discovery Route, or simply want peace of mind knowing that you’ve got gas to spare, CG can meet your needs!
*All extra fees such as taxes, duties, tariffs, brokerage, etc are not included in the purchase price. Customers are responsible for payment of these fees!*
Feature:
- Holds 10 liters
- Fuel is automatically transferred from the auxiliary tank to the main tank
- Keep fuel weight low and close to the centerline of the bike
- Free up your rear luggage rack for a top box or duffel bag
- Including tethered fuel tank cap
Working Principle:
- The aux-fuel tank is connected to the main tank air intake.
- Generally when fuel is sucked from the main tank (by the motor fuel pump), air is pulled in.
- However, when with the aux-fuel tank, new fuel is pulled instead of air.
- The aux-fuel tank is vented to let air in.
*We do not recommend using soft bags without luggage racks. An unsupported soft bag will put a large side load on the fuel tank and bracket, especially if the bicycle falls from the left side.

It's Bank Holiday today so decided that on a glorious sunny day like today is the perfect day to fit the tank to the '15 R1200GS Adventure with my Givi Trekker Outback rack fitted.
Prepared all the necessary parts and tools ready to do the job and started by loosely fitting the brackets to the take and loosening off the Givi Rack mounting points and removed the support cross bar from the rear of the bike as well as the number plate. Having successfully offered up the tank to the bike and logically figured out what parts and bracks went where I started by thread locking all the bolts that hold the various brackets to the tank then loosely, again, fitted the tank using the brackets to the bike / Givi Rack. Happy to say was an almost99.9 % perfect fit, just a little pressure needed to get the bolt supplied to take into the welded nylock nut welded to the bracket near the filler cap. Still leaving everything loose I then tracked both the breather line and fuel line from the front of the tank, having removed the tank centre fairing only (as it's an Adventure model) this proved very easy to pass both line down the gap found on the front left (as you sit on the bike) of the tank that easily passed down the gap allowing me to then route both lines down the left side (as you sit on the bike) back to the Aux tank. Having attached the end of the vent line using the junction piece supplied to the vent line now having been removed from the side of the bikes petrol filler cap, then attaching the fuel supply line to the now empty bike fuel cap (red) filler cap (now inlet port). Happy that the line were nowhere near any moving parts such as suspension/ swinging arm, I then started to cable tie the lines in place to ensure no movement possible while riding and attached the lines to the air vent and fuel outlets on the tank.
All now in place, assessed and then assessed again, I started to tighten all fittings, where possible using thread lock on all fittings, leaving only the bracket to be attached to the rear cross member support bar not tightened or attached to the support bar as yet.
I then refitted all the fairing panels removed to allow the fitting. Again making sure the lines in no way are near anything sharp or moving. I then refitted the cross member support bar to which I attached the supplied aux tank support bracket to the left side (as you sit on the bike) and again tightened everything as required.
Happy that the tank was now fully fitted I filled the Aux tank 3/4 full and took the bike for a quick end of the road and back test ride about 10 times and had no issues, unusual noise or problems to speak off so took the bike to my nearest petrol station and filled both the Aux and Main petrol tanks fully and reset my trip so I can then keep record of the approximate capacity/ range my '15 R1200GS Adventure now has. I hope to be able to get approx 650 miles from full to nearly empty but will report my findings as a test ride over the coming weeks. Thank you for a top quality product that was easy to fit for a home enthusiast bike rider.
I look forward to next July when I am taking on an epic 12,500 kilometer trip from the Isle of Man to Liverpool via ferry, ride done the length of the UK to the Channel Tunnel, ride across to Denmark and take the bridges to Sweden, up Sweden, through Norway via Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Nordkapp, then through Finland down to Helsinki along the Russian border (keep you head down!) across from Helsinki to Talin and ride through Europe via Austria, Italy, Germany etc back to the Channel Tunnel, back through the UK to Liverpool, taking the ferry back home to the Isle of Man!! All in just 13 days!
Thanks again!

Tried to contact them several times about fitment. No answer no reply. Not really good on answering?

An additional 10L of fuel for overland touring. The auxiliary fuel tank is located in a good position to keep the weight low. It will extend my range by about 200 Km.
Straight forward to install although I did struggle with positioning one of the brackets but CG MOTOR PARTS (Alison) provided great assistance.
The product could do with a parts list and installation instructions but the product is great .

Great addition to make a total of 40L on my GSA, super easy install, time of delivery from placing my order was 16days to UK

good product, delivery was a bit delayed, but an email sent to them helped quickly. tank fit perfectly bracket are good tank installed in 2 hours. just tested and works as described. no user manual but a YouTube video. this is sufficient as it is self-explanatory and comes with what you need. in short, perfect and an 10 liter added, which means 40 usable liters for the adventure.
