Need I say more?

17" knobbies do the trick!

Not so many updates but plans go ahead anyway and I have now mounted the OTR sidecarrier and tested out an Ds 400 case but we agreed on that it was to big so we stick to the Ds 300 which is 35 liter instead of 55. This combined with a waterproof sac provides me with the space I need.
As you can see in one picture I put bicycle bags on the crash bars for two reasons, raingear in one which is good if it�s wet salty roads and a bike cover in the other easily reachable.
For one they stop wet snow from hitting my feet and second they take away the wind so I�ll manage the cold a little bit more.


I�m also changing the windscreen for an ATV one which takes away yet more wind.

And as a surprise to all of you!

I found this and ordered one instantly!



22,5 liter fueltank at a far more convincing price than the OTRs which almost costs 1000 Euros. This one is UNDER half that price!

With the Conti TKC 80 M*S 120/90-17 I have in the front came a major problem and that was that it wouldn�t fit because the knobbies got into the Stabilizer/lower fender mount so I simply had to cut it off. Either that or choose another tyre where the choices weren�t many at hand.

If I find it flexes to much I�ll put in the TT 600 Stabilizer from OTR otherwise I can live with it.


And what you don�t see on the bike is that I have heated grips and saddle which is very comfortable and YES I�m riding it as of today and will go for a longer trip tomorrow!

See ya for now!
