Norden guys. There was lots of talk on the expedition threads, and the launch videos etc of the bike getting a little head shakey at speed (especially when standing) on corrugations offroad. I've had this feeling once or twice but only once doing the proper, but brief, bar shake. Also...

Joined Bonafide MotoCo on their "Around Lesotho" trip this weekend. Had a jol. Pushed myself a bit. Fucked around a bit....Found out a bit. Day 1 JHB to Wepener on Tar. (Night before Day 1, I decide to add some preload to the rear shock, to compensate for some luggage. Stock setting is 3...

Norden Expedition with the XPlor suspension. Ok I know it’s a husky but it’s gotta be similar to the 890r Bike felt as stable as a train on the highway on the Pirelli STR’s. Changed to the Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ front, Motoz ADV rear and it was very nervous on the highway initially but I put it...

I have been using the good old Builders Warehouse worker rainsuit or my Goretex gear until now...But the BMW Enduroguard jacket doesn't really cut it if the temps are over like 28deg. (It's an amazing jacket, just more for cold and rain, not hot and rain. I've ridden all day in the rain with it...

Anyone looking to get rid of their body armour? I have the very first Airfit setup and kinda looking at the newer hardshell setups.

I broke the middle finger on my right hand on Friday. I also have a trip planned, circumnavigating Lesotho at the end of the month. Luckily nothing has moved position in the broken bone (middle phalanx. 3 cracks running diagonally down it though) so I’m just supposed to buddy tape it to its...

I am trying to find some replacement straps for the C-Frame knee braces. Anyone know somebody at Leatt?

I have some Klim pants that I love but they are a bit big. I'd love to get the waist taken in a little.....and ideally fit the upper legs a little as well if that's even possible. Anyone around that can work on bike gear?

What pipe can I use to make a small rack for my bike the same as below? It's going to support a "rackless" type bag setup, I'd just like to have this there to make it a bit more even on the non-exhaust side, and make sure the bag doesnt flop towards the wheel.

The rear cross brace of my stock Expedition racks fell off on a ride. Would anyone in JHB area be cool with loaning me there's so I can organise a copy to be made? Husky only sells the full rack at R4000+ (So tighten your bolts chaps :cry: )

I'm planning to join a trip around Lesotho in about 2 months, lots of the passes around Rhodes etc and I'd like to put on some more aggressive tyres. I realise this trip could be a nice easy ride in good weather, or a bit of a slog in rain or worse......I'd rather be prepared and over-tyred...

Friend of mine wants to learn to ride and is interested in little adventures by bike so dirt roads etc. Never ridden before just interested and dying to try it out. She’s not tall but not short, like 1.7m tall. I was thinking Honda XR125/150 job? Would a DRZ 400 be much taller? Other...

Anyone put on weight and need to get rid of some pants? All my pants are way too big, I need some that actually fit.

I know some guys get their bike washed when they go through a water crossing, or ride in the rain, and some strip the thing down and deep clean em after every ride. How long do you leave your bike all muddy after a dirty Sunday ride? I used to have the time to clean the bike on the same day I...

They keep hinting about it on their social media accounts. Seems like some dedicated adventure gear is coming soon. I HOPE it has integrated armor.

How do you guys set it? 1st step in the manual is to raise the bike on a paddock stand…..uhh. I don’t have one. Obviously there will be zero weight on the rear on the Centre stand and partial weight on the side stand. Just set it a little on the loose side on the side stand?

Stock Superduke end can to fit the ADV bikes. Basically brand new, I bought it as a spare and never used it. Increases the sound on the ADV bikes without being stupid loud. Also easily replaceable if you drop the bike. Bracket to fit to ADV bike included.

I have an old Zumo 660 that I want to mount to the Norden but the wiring kit on this mount has a tone of extra wires and is super thick. I think it maybe came off a GS with the thumb wheel setup? I need to file a little hole in the dash for the wiring to go through and I really don’t want to...

It seems most people setlle on using the middle hole on the 1 finger clutch arms. I know the 7/890 has some clearance issues with the tank sometimes on the far hole, but this isn't a problem on the Norden, and I really like the light pull on the far hole. I just don't want to end up killing...

If anyone has some lying around.
