Hey guys, fury here with some questions and pricing plans!
I plan on moving down to Kentucky here in the spring with nothing but my bike, what I can cram into my saddlebags and the stuff I can send down there after I decide what is truly important to me. I do need to make some modifications to my bike prior to my trip to make it a more comfortable/bearable trip.
Alright so this winter I'm tearing the bike down and redoing it completely to insure the highest amount of reliability. Some things that I'm doing:
A) Cleaning and installing a stage 1 jet kit (best brands?)
B) Installing new tires (best sport touring tires for the money?)
C) Purchasing a new sport touring windscreen to get the wind off of my body
D) Replacing the spark plugs and installing a new starter (the other s#!t the bed)
E) New brake pads
F) breakaway clutch and brake lever
G) All fresh fluids (Clear brake fluid and fresh oil and filter)
H) Hardbags or expandable softbags and tank bag (brands?)
I) Corbin Seat or other brand
J) Raise the bars to take my weight off of them (ideas?)
These are some of the modifications that are coming to my mind as of right now off the top of my head. They are simple but I know that they will benefit me for the long haul that lies ahead. I will also be motovlogging on my journey with my GoPro and mic setup and I'll make sure to post highlights for you guys to watch.
I appreciate any tips or modifications that you guys can possibly can think about that will make the ride easier. I figured roughly 4 fill ups or so but I'm going to set aside $150 for strictly gas and about $2000 for my expenses for on my way and when I get down there.
Happy riding guys, be safe!
