Hi guys,
I own 2 REH, both 2016. Initially I had the red chinese made plastic jerry cans for both, the ones you see on a lot of photos.
Thing is: They get brittle over time, are hard to open without plyers, the nozzle which is inside the can when not in use DISSOLVES over time (no kidding) and yes, the color fades to grey if exposed to sunlight. On top of all that your cant secure them from theft of the gas or the entire can, it takes about 2 seconds to release them from the bike, which happened in one overnight stay roadside. To fit them on the bike you have to drill into the side-frame too, which I also did not like.
Long story short, I was thinking about alternatives but none that would load up on the rear of the bike and be "improvised". Finally I did design a metal holder that is easy to fit in under 3 minutes if you know how to use a spanner. It has an optional theft protection arm for a small padlock. No drilling needed, the nuts to attach them are already on the frame factory-wise. I sell a pair with screws and rubbers to hold the can for 60.-US plus 20.- US shipping from Rishikesh in India to the US (insured, airmail).
They are made from 1.5mm steel - laser cut and double layer powder coated.
They will take 2-3 weeks to reach the US.
