Hi Folks,
On Saturday I head out on a 16/17 day trip across the US, NY to Washington.
I've done a bit of work on the bike to get it ready for the trip. Engine Guards (leg rests), with Highway pegs - looks stupid, but I'll need them. I added a set of Rigid Industries 20211 Dually-Led Flood lights, Admore Lighting Break/Tail/Turn, Givi side cases with 3 Canisters mounted under them to hold 3 MSR Fuel Bottle, 30oz each. GPS, Power to the tank bag, Breakaway Cruise Control and a few home made things. A platform over the rear seat to hold large duffel bags and yes, even a sissy bar (made out of electrical conduit) to tie down the duffel bags. It's hard to tell there is an FZ8 under it all, but I wanted to make the bike as comfortable as possible for a 4500 mile trip.
I'll be updating my blog daily at: Throttle Across America –-- NY to Oak Harbor Washington state. and I'll keep you all updated here.
I have to thank all the folks here at FZ8-forum.com for all the helpful information while I was planning my trip.
Updates to come.
Duane
