fire fix it with fire fire cures all problems, by either solving them , or eliminating them. either way its a win win Maybe get an aftermarket tank to run around with to safe the original one for future use?

You are correct but since we some sdar folks going as well and it is not an organized ride it made sense to cross link for the information from the other thread Randy can nuke this if he feels it break the rules, and I would have no problem with that.

Them yes you? ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ show up lets find out

Same can be said for asv levers you can feel the quality and that translates to better lever feel for the riders

The 27th it is. Put on calendar and updated first post

So far it looks like we definity have the following to make the ride out and home same night. @Mr.JAJA @tubebender @DSM8 We will see you at 2, Main Street Coffee in Ramona

Here is the GPX track from Ramona Circle K to the campground. It represented correctly in the leaflet maps so I think were good. 2023_N00BsCamp_SDAR.gpx

I plan to make it for the ride out on Saturday, give me a call I can come up with a GPX file with you over the phone for the route.

There are aftermarket brackets that might be stronger than stock, and beware the bolts do come loose, a tac weld prevents any of that happening. Done it on more than a few KLR's for my friends. Safety wire the bolts also works to keep them from backing out.

The two times tried to get there both were snowed out and unable to get through the pass

Its camping Not a drum circle ya damn hippy 😉

Decided to take the 18 back way into Big Bear, had not ridden that side in many years. Just for the fun of it. ReliveVideo

Oh look a ....bag by a motorpickle 😉 Keep em coming

We do not condone speeding or riding off trails in this group. 😁

Signal gets blocked and picked up next ping suddenly I traveled large distances in a moment suddenly im speeding weird that way

What is the tempo of this ride, last year it was pretty much all pavement except for the last part I think going into the camp ground. It is going to be the same this year or are you planning to put more dirt into the equation? Maybe would be good to put up a GPX track of the route you planning, I can do that for you if it isnt your thing, just LMK. I personally would like one to follow just for reference etc.

I will probably make it for the ride, pass on the camping part have enough experience doing that off the bike lol

Put simply. Gotex jacket the liner will eventually wear out and be less water proof over time. Requires treament and maint to get the most out of it. One good crash can damage the liner to the point it not longer works as designed and you have $700 jacket that is not what it once was but still good enough to use. I use the revit rain gear, and have it large enough to wear over my riding gear. Packs down to the size of a soda can and also can be put on as a layer when cold out. Cheap to replace and can be repaired with seam tape if needed. Mine has lasted me for thousands of miles of use. I gave up on the gortext and other waterproof jackets, they always ended up being too hot/heavy for many times of the year. Only exception is my Aerostich, I use that to commute to work. Would not want to wear that on a multi day off road ride. My.02 I use this in the oh what the **** is that Yellow XXL size to fit over all my gear and easy to get in and out of

I have done this now on several bikes. Africa Twin Sport Stelvio KTM 1290 All have been street bikes, all have done thousands of miles on the conversion, I have decided going to be doing it on the 990. I use the 3M extreme sealing tape in every case. Worth googling if this is something you want to try without spending the money on the tubliss conversion or such.

There is a lot of conflicting info on this whole setup. I have heard of failures but between 3 bikes and almost 75K miles of riding no issues with how I do it so...... take what I do with a grain of salt. My plan is just to do it on the rear wheel of the 990, I am running a narrower rear rim than factory, and excel made by woodys in CO. It is just a PITA to do the tube on the rear of the big bike so it makes sense to do it there, I will stick with tubes for the front since I do ride this mostly off road.

the sample pack is a great idea that was how I found the extra soft ones. https://www.earplugstore.com/unfoamtrialp.html

They also make extra soft one good for 32db

Fixed

I have three tanks. The exc tank has it's own seat The Acerbis and Safari use the same seat. Difference is in the spacing and the pan of the exc has a more material and seems to be at a different angle on the front slope vs. the others but it can be make to work, your just deforming the seat pan more than some would like, and dealing with the gap you see in the above pic at the front part of the seat
