Transformation

Transformation to Long distance overlander. Ewan & Charlie better watch out!   









Off to the Pyrenees in a couple of weeks for a test ride.  

And where are you going to sit ?


I think that the Giant loop coyote model fits the bike much better , smaller i know but designed to fit the XR and more offroad oriented bikes , the great bassin fits the bigger touring / more road oriented bikes ( bmw gs ,... ) better but it just looks wrong on the small piggy , but then you get the greater capacity so i guess that is what matters to you more .

Would you sell your radiator shrouds ?....struggling to find a 2002 set of panels mine are OK for off-roading but tatty on my super clean bike....found a set in the US but they are 2003...doh
Brand new right panel....2003...grrr

More room than there looks Frosty. I did 100 miles that day without any problems. But I have reorganised and managed to get it further back giving me plenty of room.  

Sorry Mauser, not selling the shrouds. I expect I'll be putting them back on with the stock tank when I get back. I'll be doing some green laning and want the option of swapping tanks. 
 

No problem, hoping to get a new set from the states with 2002 graphics on...  

Geez Maus'
so it's only the graphics you're after? Git nu plastics and have yer own made, and then have a few sets printed so you can park it flat on the floor at times...... ahem, you know, also you will do this, if not sooner than laters

No way £188 from Honda....rip off Britain   order a set from the USA 2002 graphics £87 including postage + import duties....? got to work out cheaper.

You could have ask one of the american lads to buy and send them to you as a low value package to avoid the ridiculous import Tax   

I could have but not really worth bothering others over VAT   only money end of the day and I have loads tucked away doing nowt.
