I will upload more pics later. I have done a few 1000-1200 mile rides, and this bike has been a work in progress. Now, I think I have a final product! I am heading out today on a 4 day, 1500 mile ride through Colorado. Mods Include:
Best budget touring bike ever! I picked up the bike for $2000 last year in showroom condition, all maintenance records with 6,000 miles on the clock, and then probably only $300 in parts for the touring mods I've done. Here is a time line of the work in progress, and wish me luck for the next 1500 trip!
- Removed clip-ons, added touring bars
- Home made tall touring windscreen
- Hand guards
- Bar weights
- Tail case (Hyrukan-$20 used)
- Large saddlebags (Used-$60)
- Dual sport tires (Shinko 705)
- Short levers
- Throttle lock
- Phone mount
- Charging port
