Took the tank off for the first time today-

- and wonder what I can/should do with all the cavernous space ahead of the battery?

It looks almost big enough for a small car battery if you took the bike battery out. I've read that some have installed air compressors there for inflating tires. If I were Goldfinger I'd put a few bricks of bullion in there. It's lots of unused inaccessible space that ought to be used for something. Spare oil? inner tubes? Tools you hope you never need but want to have with you? DB Cooper's stash?

I'm curious what you've used the space for on your R.

Some have moved the charcoal canister there so it's not hanging down off the back of the bike anymore.

I like that! maybe room for the tractor manual canister for my camp stove fuel tanks then.

I don't have ABS so perhaps that's where it would go if I did.

That's where many have mounted the antifreeze overflow tank.
