[QUOTE="Slonishku, post: 863328, member: 19346"] I'm going to do some geocaching Saturday and Sunday night in full rally regalia, logging stops just as I would in the rally. The only purpose is to identify and treak any remaining wrinkles in getting on and off the bike. Linda T was making an aux tank cover and tank bag/ tank bra/ pannier setup for me. We'd agreed on a delivery date, but hadn't heard anything. I was getting pretty anxious about not hearing from her for a while, but just got a call from her saying she'd bitten off more work than she could chew this summer, and my setup didn't get high enough priority to make the cut. So I'm scrambling to figure out a substitute for these items. Shouldn't be a big deal, but it sucks doing it at this stage in the game. After 2009, I think that a mechanically sound stock CX500 with a Vetter fairing, a waterproof tail bag, and fresh tires would do. Given that I have an FJR with a Givi topcase, Ohlins suspension, Russel saddle, heated grips, HIDs galore, aux tank, etc., the stuff from Linda was just gravy, anyway. Meh. [/QUOTE]
