[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 1452003, member: 4"] So I have my new-to-me 2021 MT10 in the garage now. This will be the start of project to turn this machine into something it really isn't designed to do: be a Long-Distance "Endurance" sport touring machine, running the deserts/mountains of the American West in non-stop 24-hour and 36-hours competitive events: [ATTACH type="full"]3202[/ATTACH] As many of you already know, the three major items any bike needs to be a proper desert runner are: [LIST] [*]Auxiliary Fuel Cell [*]Auxiliary Night Lighting [*]Hydration system [/LIST] I will also of course need hard side bags. I am solving the latter with a classic set of Givi V37 Monokey bags. They are already inbound, but the racks to hold them are on 6-8 week back-order. [IMG alt=">:("]https://storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/angry.png[/IMG] Since the aux fuel cell is the long pole in the tent here, I am starting on that now. The aux cell is a 4.3 gallon gravity-fed system. It will reside atop this Givi Rear Top Rack, which just arrived last night: [ATTACH type="full"]3203[/ATTACH] I will post up in this thread all future mods I do to make this a proper Desert Runner. I know is sounds a little crazy to some folks to force this tiny racebike into this role - and I am sure there will be times I will be thinking the same. But that is part of the fun! [/QUOTE]
