gotta change those fixed mirrors for some double takes!!

damn near impossible to ride standing up and leaning forward with those tree branches in the way

 

Honda mirrors are some of the best. I dont plan on changing for a long time

 

@gixxerphil can you measure the width of your seat in this area?

 

That’s what I’ve been saying! Let’s go hit some fire roads out west today. I wanna that beauty see in person/off Roading.

 

And finally got my tank bag in. Glad i didnt cave for a Giant Loop Diablo for $250. Looks like perfect fitment. Working on that part now.

 

true i forgot you dont ride off road... yet

 

Ok, im halfway convinced. But also, i am cautious offroad still, while improving my skills.

Where do you want to go?

 

Fire roads are fine, just don't try to follow the guys on dual sports that are 250lbs lighter.

 

I threw the widest part in just because

 

Forgot to mention in here, but I picked up this gal a few weeks ago earlier this month!
Super stoked on the new and improved commute and hopefully some weekend rides with work buddies!



2020 790 Duke with 6500mi. Guy had everything, even the ready-to-race stickers from new. + some nice KTM’s levers and case guards.

 

Thank you!! That is some good news. Going to try to snake the Kriega OS base through my rear grab bars, and then mount rackless luggage there. Think it will work? My seat is also ~10" in that area, and that picture shows excess material

 

Recent trip to Colorado for a few days rode to a bunch of places:

 

Nice! There’s probably 15 miles or more of nice gravel roads in the Beaton/Remington area if you wanna get a feel for that tire on some gravel and not venture to far from civilization. If we wanna ride till night fall we can head toward the mountains and put around.

 

If not, it'd be a c@&t hair away I'd try it to find out

 

Can also pop the seat off and run the base underneath it, I've done that on a few bikes when my soft luggage wouldn't fit over the top.

 

Does anyone have experience with Kenda K270's? I have Kenda Klever's on my truck and have no complaints. I'm going for an "AT" tire

 

I had them in my KLR650. Not bad but a bit wobbly and squishy feeling for road riding.

 

I'll honestly spend more time on road, I just don't want the look of a road tire I have no complaints with the factory IRC's and may just stick with those.

 

Kriega is a little more than the Tusk stuff that ive been "trying" but im game. Just dont want to be trying with Mosko or Giant Loop that are $500+

 

*checking map* I don't have decent enough lights yet, so i try to get back before dark
