what I read that as is based on this paragraph:

Quote:
2. Non-OEM main fuel tanks and auxiliary tanks are permitted if they are NASCAR-, IHRA-, or NHRA- approved or, at the sole discretion of the rallymaster, determined to be of acceptable quality

Non-metallic auxiliary tanks should be grounded to the frame of the motorcycle with a conductive strap or wire attached to the tank in the vicinity of the fuel inlet. Metal tanks do not require a grounding strap if they are attached to the frame with conductive brackets.
Those two parts lead me to believe that plastic tanks with metal strappings are allowed.

Err, yes - what the other folks said too

Aux tanks/fuel cells are pretty common when you get into multi-day rallies. The VOID is every year I think, and I want to say the BITE is on the IBR off-year?? There's one that is on the off-year, I can't remember which.

I'd be down....my riding buddy isn't much of a long distance / short time type.

I heard that one time G-rex got lost. So he figured if he just kept going straight he would circumnavigate the earth and get back to where he started. He was home by dinner.
