So far... I have started Farkleing plans and some purchases and parts should start arriving next week... The budget is limited after the bike purchase (and the expense of panniers) but that is ok, I will get the needed soon and the wanted later..
To Date:
Ordered Caribou Systems Panniers (Based on the Pelican 1550 Case (35L per side). Looked hard and long at all the options I settled on this for me... They seem to have excellent reviews and should serve me well for both off and on pavement
Have a Dakar windshield coming that is not the end but improved over the stock Non Shield. Depending on how I like it I may try adding a laminar lip later..
Already picked up a used BMW Tank bag... down the road, I plan to put a plug in that to add 2 electric taps outtside and one inside the bag. Planning to use Powerlet products.
Ordered a used set of BMW Hand guards from a guy parting out a machine that blew up the engine. (Later with replenished funds I would like to pick up the Bark Buster units)
Ordered a mounting base for my ram mount gps... I have the arm and cradle coming off the cradle.
Ordered a powerlet adapter cable to plug my 2610 into the available outlet. (Under the faring) It is a 90 deg bmw to cigarette lighter and will route up under teh the plastic to the handlebars. This will get me on the GPS quickly and work until I electrify the tank bag.. (much later in the super or a winter project)
I am also planning on ordering an engine guard and installing that before the SMR..
Yes, it looks like now I am riding the new beauty down to the SMR!! I am excited about that. There are other Touratech items, including chainguard, fairing guard etc and likely some new peg options after I ride a bit and determine what I need... that I will likely add as time goes along... Those are not needed to get me rolling ..
After SMR, I will need to finalize what I think I want/need for a WS and I KNOW I am gonna have to do something with this stock seat!!
Anyway.. guess I better go to work...
