Hi,
I've been slowly setting my bike up for motorcycle camping/touring and year round commuting to work. While it looks somewhat odd, I am going for function and not form. There are still a couple of things on the wish list, but so far I think I'm ready for my first two day camping trip at the end of the month.
In no particular order, this is what I've done to it so far:
Iphone 5 weatherproof handlebar mount w/charger (for gps, tunes and phone)
Heated Grips (tried Hippo Hands and hated them)
Brush/Hand Guards (stops the wind chill)
Grip Puppies
17t Counter Sprocket to lower freeway rpm's
Large Top Case
Yamaha Gel Comfort Seat (verdict is still out on if it truly comfortable)
EBC V-Brake semi-sintered touring pads Front/Rear
Two Tractor Manual Tubes mounted near rear seat
Two MSR 30oz fuel bottles (holds nearly half gallon of extra gas)
5 position adjustable clutch & brake levers
12 power outlet (to recharge Sena 10 blue tooth and power tire pump)
Heated vest power connection
Vizi-tec “SupaBrake Flasher” brake light modulator
Soft saddle bag luggage (hard bags are on the wish list)
Tank bag
Well, that's it so far. After a two day camping trip the end of this month I should have a good idea how this set up will work for me. In August I will be taking a nine day camping trip to NorCal.
Anyone done anything similar to their FZ's or have any suggestions on things I have not thought of?
Thanks....
