    Those Andy strapz are the poo Jeffro ;) I have 3 sets and rate them :)

    As far as the damper goes they are ok, not as good as the three big name dampers but better then nothing for sure

    The GPS looks the business ;) and I’ve never seen a steering damper under the bottom triple clamp, thats the business. I thought it was an under bar damper ,Is it easy to adjust?

    The brass nut thing on top is the adjuster, the damper has zero return and are a good thing. I had one on my XR600 they are OK. That said you cant set them up as stiff as a Scott, MSC or Rocstompa.

    It will do the job ad the price was right ;)

    TB

    Yes the oil gets changed @ each end, wouldn’t like to do many more k’s without an oil change as the oil is black as & stinks, still only do a filter every 2nd oil change no matter what the interval.

    My point exactly, thats 240 racing klms and its rooted, its certainly not going to do 2 or 3k touring without the same. Oil capacity is the killer as they hold bugger all oil and arent designed for it

    Boulders on the money they wont do long transports even with a cush drive, cush drive will get it further but the bike the gearbox final drive etc isnt designed for it..

    Get something designed for the job, it will enjoy it, you will enjoy it much much more and do it in comfort with less stress.

    Most touring bikes do 40 to 80k standing on their head, a 450 enduro bike no way known in a touring role

    Thats why they make different bikes for different roles IMO :)
