Don't these bikes have an "On" and a "Reserve" setting on the petcock? I never looked that closely at mine, now that I think about it (and it's currently being shipped to me after a move halfway across the country). Usually you'd ride in "On", then when the engine starts to cough and sputter, you switch to "reserve" and make your way to the nearest gas station.
Personally, I used to keep a 20oz full of gas in my saddlebag on my last bike "just in case". Ended up using it to refill other peoples' bikes more than mine. A quick google search tells me there are 1L gas cans shaped to fit in the corner of your saddlebag, too. So maybe invest in one of those? Also, there are aftermarket gas gauges (that range from "awful" to "pretty damn good, actually").
But easiest is probably going to be riding in normal "On" mode and stopping every 120 miles or so (or 2 hours of riding... Pretty good time to get off for a stretch anyways, I'd say).
