I have forwarded your question about ‘blank’ goggle sets to Stacey at Liquid Image in America.I’ll be keen to know the answer too
WOW $400 RRP? :ohmy: is that Australia only.. Straight from them is $250US
That’s from my LOCAL bike (who introduced me to a product I knew nothing of , always look after me with good deals and I’d be gutted if they closed down to overseas shopping ) shop in AUSTRALIA. Yes Krusty
:laugh:Interesting response to an observation, a valid observation at that for a product review. :huh:
I wasn’t questioning your loyalty to your local shop either as I’m sure you have a great relationship with them being the good bloke that you are.. :kiss:
Not sure why you brought forth the overseas shopping issue either as it is irrelevant.. :dry:
BTW – Nice product and the video footage provided in the Coffs ride was awesome.. I think it is a much better perspective than a helmet mounted camera.. It would be an interesting comparision between the goggles and a chest mount setup..

Great write up Scotty and I like the thorough thinking..
I own a DRZ and it is set up for both functions as I’m not allowed to own 2 bikes(yet..but working on it)… It only takes me 30 minutes to swap between the 2 modes.. I plan a write up soon.. Waiting on some small bits and pieces to complete.. Even have 2 sets of wheels now..
My input for what it s worth..
Heated grips: Definitely (torpedo 7 has em cheap)
A big tank: Safari 28 liter for sure (If you have rad guards you really won’t need them anymore with the big tank. (I’ll buy em )
A comfy seat. Seat Concepts.. http://www.seatconcepts.com/index.php?p=1_22
Some racks and bags: I bought the Andy Strapz and rack mainly because they were used and cheap.. Lots of good stuff regarding the Wolfman.
Maybe a steering damper. Yes.. Ralle-Moto RM2 I just ordered one $645 delivered.. No Triple clamp change and comes with bar riser that goes up and forward a bit..(Needs Fat Bars)
Some kind of screen. I don’t have one and don’t plan on one.. The only time I noticed the need was riding into the wind. Maybe I would notice more if I actually had one?Gearing: 15/44 Will allow you to sit on 110k-120k and the motor won’t be screaming its head off.. I spent the coin and got chaingang gear.. (Great chain as recommended by the Mighty Mal DID X-ring Gold)
Tires: Ran AC10 front and Bridestone ED78 rear last year.. Trying the Mitas ED09 Dakars front and rear this year..
The hardest part I experienced on the Corner ride last year is when we were on the Tar.. The bigger bikes cruised at 140-150 at times and at 130-135 the DRZ is screaming its nuts off.. Won’t go over 120 this year and they’ll just have to wait for me..
I’m hoping to start doing 1-2 day rides every other weekend, every if I can, from mid august onward until the corner ride.. come join me…
I’m in.. could use a good fitness test!!
😆Looking good eagle!!
I reckon you’ll get $7k plus.. currently 14 bidders and 20 bids with 5 days to go… maybe even $7.5k
That is one beautiful bike…. Krusty ducks and bobs…
