I did the dacre in 2010 & just used a wolfman tank bag with an MSR dromedary bag stuffed inside it. No extra weight on me or the back of the bike and it was easy to remove when I didn't need it. It held close to 3 extra liters of gas.
A buddy of mine used one of those number plate tanks for similar purposes.

If it was only the Dacre I wouldn't worry about it. It may not even be needed depending on how the new format for the day works out next year.
What is more frustrating is running 200+km days in Calabogie. Im always scared of running out of fuel and have come close even back on my 4T bike. I definitely have to carry fuel on the Gasser to make it all day. I'd really prefer to have the peace of mind that I can make it 150km's. I think I may look at fabing up my own reserve tank somehow... maybe on top of the rear fender... Its just something thats always in the back of my mind.
