I haven't seen one yet, but there are plenty of auxiliary tank solutions. Tedder will be along any minute now for a good selection of pictures of his orange, umm, er, thing...

So here are some options. There are others- the cheap asses just put a JAZ on the rear package rack.

Here's a tank that Leon Begeman made for his DL1k:


Here's a tank under construction that fits the Happy Trails setup:


And what that was based on, my aux tank. It fits the Givi setup- the above tank is the same as this one:





You can buy these aux tanks- I think they are ~$550. The biggest drawback is you lose your passenger seat. With the Givi setup, the seat is there, but the rails for the fuel cell stick up, so it is uncomfortable for the passenger after ~10 miles or so.

Of course, there is always the bungee and plastic route:
