    I was really interested in buying a world raid then decided nah, because I started adding up the cost of adding bits of kit to it not in the least a high level exhaust to fix the ridiculous design flaw that Yamaha shouldn't have made in the first place or at least rectified themselves with an update.

  • @adventurejunkie9658

    The low mount exhaust will possibly bend or break the mounting bracket on a hard enough fall. I figured at that point I’ll just buy a high mount exhaust as you’ll have to cut that bracket anyways. 10,000 miles and it hasn’t been on its side yet.

    @@adventurejunkie9658 I have BMW brand and Touratech brand of most things they make. One set in USA and one in France. I own no car. I ride 12 months a year. Through three continents. I fall periodically off road. So. Based on that. Crash bars. Panniers. Top cases. Textiles. Boots. Even under garments. Lights. Bags. Suspensions. All of it. Touratech makes the BMW aluminum panniers. Thinner and not as well designed as TT branded ones. I’ve been riding for 61 years. My USA bike is a BMW 1200 GS Adv. European bike 2018 Yamaha T700 With remanufactured wheels (spoke tubeless). In Europe I’ve been through every significant mountain pass in every country other than Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. Multiple times. In Africa, the Atlas mountains, and of course the Sahara. In April I leave to do Corsica,Elba, Sardinia, and Sicily on pavement with wife on back. 35 days. Then she flies home and I take ferry to Tunisia and then wherever circumstances take me. I usually come back in September. The Yam is the perfect European bike. The Beemer, the perfect American. If I go south to Mexico, Central and South America I’ll probably buy a 450 cc twin and flat black it. The danger there is not the road. It’s people.

    Hey your bike is set up nicely, thanks for sharing! Also thanks for linking the parts that's very helpful. I've got a 2022 and I want to start with the tail tidy and all four turn signals. How hard was the turn signal install and which relay did you use? That windscreen mod is so cool, I think I'm going to have to do that and the bark busters too.

    Yes, the bike needs to be jacked up. It’s also handy to place a bottle jack under the end of the swinging arm to support it as it makes it far easier to replace the shock not having to lift the wheel and swing arm to align the bolt holes.

Some of the competitors that get a lot of praise due to cost/value are cool, but they come with dry bags that must be inserted. Just seemed like an unnecessary step. And...I can't say this about may products these days, but the Kriega product is made exceptionally...if not perfectly well. I'm critical...but I'm totally impressed and delighted.
