tortron Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 @flyingbrick I looked at my rack, and at some small motorcycle adventure fuel cans and I decided I'm best to just carry my multifuel stove aluminium fuel bottles (I have a few, like aluminium drink bottles) should I need a couple hindered more km. 5L is too much unless you are in Africa tbh. They fit nicely in the back of those bags 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Gravel and dust don't agree with fork chrome and seals. Neither does city road grit. #adventureGN Spending is getting out of control. I think I'm over the $20 mark now. Have a few more items, but I'm over worked and ordered a wrong part, which needs to go on before the rest. So another weekend. Currently costs $0.05 per km in fuel. Over 5 times cheaper than ute 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Bulk bought some oil filters. About $1.50 each. Changed oil today at 500km because hard break in over winter doesn't tickle me. Aluminium smoo 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tortron Posted June 30, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2019 Ordered an off-on switch instead of an on-off-on. So that's on its way now. Installed the rest anyways two toggles ziptied to the handle bar should be alright for now. Run off a relay from the battery rather than the key, but I don't think il forget to turn it off. White flood and amber fog led light bar. Ready for some #adventureGN 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Tbh I wasn't too sure how good that led bar would be. Riding home on back roads due to multiple road closures last night and it really proved it's worth. About 10x brighter than the standard headlight (that IL probably convert to h4 like my 250, but I'm sure that took. 7"lamp as I put one I bought for my minor but had a flat lens in it, 125 is a5.5 or whatever the common bike size is anyways) So could actually see the road which was nice. Was too slow getting though a pedestrian gate Indicator is unscathed, just bent the tab, which was my desired outcome. Hopefully similar will happen if dropped. Panniers protect it but I didn't have them on. Not super keen on getting battered by wind, this might help or at least keep the rain off the instruments 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going on the front. Didn't see any 16's I want for the rear, but it has a kinda chunky tread anyways and I'm more concerned about the front washing out than losing the rear end 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I need it tbh but it could be a fun little project I would like a pair of spoked wheels in a size for decent tyres. But don't want to spend any amount of money on them. I have some hand guards I may add, but it hasnt been cold enough. They wouldn't offer much brush guard protection though I think. Other thing I ordered was a 12v socket for charging stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Got a sheepskin pram liner Amazingly it's a perfect fit Head piece is velcro'd on and adjustable. So could use it all in one piece, but I think il remove it and slip it on like shown. Pretty much round the world ready now... 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
