Hi guys, ill reply to you all in one go, spares, i take spare brake & clutch lever, a roll of gaffer tape & some cable ties. The bars are standard but with 30mm risers, just easyer with a tank bag on, a riffle 20inch screen & hand guards of a v-strom. Top box is a 55l krauser, this is the second fazer its been on with no problems. I rack the rear suspension spring up 6 clickes, nether botherd with tyre pressures. iam 15 st & our lass is 10st, i think we have under half st in the box & i try to have a bit of weight in the tank bag. The hand guards were fantastic last year, we did j,o,g if your thing of putting them on for a trip do so.
