    The MM Gnome is nice and can work with the aftermarket tank, alternatively the Giant Loop one is very slim and sits across rather than in-line. That bump in the tank is also present on pre-24’s and guys run tank bags. Gnome is softer material so should “fit” over the tank bump. The tank...

    Correct assumption. If you ever need a screen for wind protection, you’re riding the wrong stuff.

    I’ve done a ton of research, the 80 just doesn’t sit as well on a 500. There are guys that use the 80 on smaller bikes like the 500, but overwhelming opinion is that the fit is just not right. Many guys have gotten the 80 with those same “i can always just pack less and use the 80” and end up...

    For me, I love using a compact tank bag - Critical piece of luggage: (I have both, but used the Enduristan for thousands of rough KM's on my 500) The Sandstorm 4X has more space: Giant Loop for more compact: Note though, and this is very important - DO NOT put your cellphone in the...

    I wish someone had told me all these years ago to just buy the Mosko Moto 40’s and bite the 35%-import-duty-bullet. Would actually have saved me so much money and drama. I've had quite a few luggage solutions: Had the zipper Coyote version, then sold it. I managed to get a Kriega Base OS...

    Correct It varies the Amps during the charging stages, but up to 5A, you actually don’t want higher amps than that. Nice to not have to worry about what battery type is in the vehicle/bike.

    Yes, it has Lithium The charger just needs to be able to detect and charge Lithium as well - That specific one I posted does both The starter pack is also a solution, sometimes though they don’t hold enough charge like the proper battery banks and can be more bulky. But the right one could...

    What luggage systems are you guys going to run?

    🤣🤣 - Take what you have 🦾 If motor is good, clutch can last, air filters are sorted, fuel is filtered (important) and you have some spares you should be fine.

    I would recommend getting the same bike (if possible) - Makes spares handling a lot easier and cheaper. Not familiar with the reliability of an Xchallenge though, you’ll need to make sure you carry all sorts of stuff for your bike. I think he should get a nice big GPS like an XT2 and you roll...

    Don’t forget about the spares you need to carry on a self-supported trip - VERY important. I tend to prepare to the nth degree, most consider it too much, but there’s a reason I’ve only ever had successful trips.

    I’m probably going to upgrade to an XT2 soon - It does tracks and the display is incredible. Those are my primary requirements (besides being waterproof etc) I’m a bit torn between the XT2 and Montana 700i (It’s legendary, probably more durable, but the OS is very outdated and clunky) Just...
