Move the gas tank or no?

The gas tanks on my motorcycles are pretty much in my lap. I try to be a careful driver, but you can't drive for the other person.

Not a fan of belly tanks. I have a GMC JIMMY and once had a '67 K/10 Suburban. Both factory equipped with rear tanks. Hard to fill. Won't take the gas nozzle at full blast, they back uo and shut down the valve. You have to slip the gas down the neck like pouring beer into a tall glass.
Then there's getting fuel to the carb.
Back of seat tank has none of these problems.
