    Hey Boony, I’m going to leave home on Wednesday and not get back until Monday that’s the only reason for my panniers. I would take only a back pack too for weekend trip!

    Bike looks the business Krusty, when I used my Drz for the Cameron ride I found that the soft panniers scratched the crap out of my side plastics , and with your new stickers you don’t want that!!

    I’m using the same panniers on my Tenere for this ride and my missus came up with a top idea of cutting up a lambs wool car seat cover and stitching it to the back of the pannier.

    Top tip from mrs. J !!

    Mine are rubber backed.. On camerons they didn’t scratch but left a black mark which came off.. I been thinking about draping something over the path the bags follow.. Sheep skin sounds good.. :)

    Mine have a rubberback too mate but once you get dust and dirt behind it’s like sandpaper!!

    I’m going to try the sheepskin and hopefully save the side of the Tenere !

    Ok,
    Thought I`d give the campout ADV syle thing a go on friday night instead of softing it in a pub room :laugh:
    Might as well seeing I have a set of bags on loan & possibly a pair coming secondhand soon ;)

    This will give me a basic setup ready for the next steed whenever it arrives :dry: :huh: soon I hope :)
    Am still travelling light (no cooking gear or extra spares etc)
    I do have a tent, fly, camp mat, sleeping bag, clothes, towel and some extra fuel

    From “Super Commuter” to “Super Adventurer” :woohoo:

    Eags that looks super Adventure setup mate well done ;) Andy bags are yours mate I just need them for the Nabiac ride

    That’s a great setup, looks like a strong alloy rack for the bags did that come with the bags and blinkers looks like it would just go from bike to bike as a unit ;) or did you make it?

    Will give you a ring later in the week and work out the time you want to meet to where we will be. I will have my tracker on and the page will be on the site so you will be able to follow our progress before you leave home

    Cheers,
    Rack is an Eagle Fabrications special home made job :laugh:
    It is a temp setup tied to the standard KLX tiny rack (remember that thing???) :P

    I used some ally I had around home & bought some C Section for $16 & two WR blinkers for $20!!! :)

    Will see how it holds up,,,, hence the reason for lugging the bags & gear next weekend,, think of it as a test for the Kwaka

    See here,, Rack has blinkers attached & I can simply disconnect wiring (bullet connectors), undo 4 bolts & off she comes all together,,,, Just wanted to keep bags well away from the pipe :blink:

    This was a pic of mid way thru the build, it has been riveted & corners braced on completion!!!
