Moving on
Has anyone found a way to mount an auxiliary fuel tank with the CSC. I have been looking at some spun aluminum tanks from Sandstorm. Nice idea. But where and how to mount? I'm not that sure about how to do this with electric fuel pump. My thought on the tank itself is to find one that will fit between the trunk lid brackets sitting on the floor. I don't have to have the space for storage. Then comes the problem of how the fuel system will pressurize the tank. I would appreciate the groups input and thoughts.
Thanks
Phil

I might end up with something like that, I want to look at a tank that I don't have to pour the gas directly into the OEM gas cap. Something along the line that CSC offers for the Honda.

Ours is the same!
We also have a Victory with a CSC trike kit and gas mileage has gone down considerably since tricking it. Haven’t figured out exact mileage but I’d bet it’s about 28 to 30mpg. It’s my husbands bike and I ride a Gold Wing tike. I can get 140mi out of a tank of gas on my bike easy but my husband is looking for a gas station when we only have about 100 miles to a tank. When his was a two wheeler he could always outride me on a tank. Really gets inconvenient when your riding in a remote area.

Solved my problem
Sharon: I purchased a Roto Pax Gen 2, two gallon fuel can. It fits into the trunk nicely and there is still room. I'll use it when needed. Can't see any other options at this time.

Same with our MotoTrike
We have a 2012 Cross Country with a MotoTrike Vortex kit on it. We used to get 42-45 MPG on the bike. Since it's been triked, 25 MPG is pretty typical. On back roads, running 55-60, we'll get closer to 30...

After an engine rebuild or a cam job, sometime your mileage will suffer for a few hundred miles. Once everything seats well, mileage usually gets better. Also, check your fuel turner. A misadjusted turner can dramatically effect mileage.

cams
We were getting 25 MPG on our Motortrike Vortex. We added cams, Lloyd's air filter, an underdrive pulley, and a tune, and we're now getting 35-37 MPG.
