Scottoiler
12V socket with switch

I am sure i have forgotten an item or two

Issues:
Sheared both bolts on the center frame where the rear sub frame bolts to, replaced with slightly larger bolts in Eastern Russia.
Crashed in Mongolia, some vinyl scratched on the right side of rally tower, still looks good, nothing overly obvious, speedometer slight mounting damage new owner might want to replace it, I have used it like this for +10,000kms no issue.

Overall the bike has been amazing. Engine has never missed a beat even running on 76 octane in Mongolia, Clutch discs have been measured and have virtually no wear, Never had an issue with the gear box.

The bike stands TALL
I stand 6'10" or 208cm, I modified this bike to be comfortable to ride great distances. The pegs were lowered to not extend bellow the skid plate and raised the handlebars but without putting strain on the stock cables. My knees are at a comfortable angle while sitting on the seat. In this configuration I can stand comfortably for any length of time with no difficult angle on the lower back. The XPC seat is taller, wider and (i find) more comfortable.

Asking €5500, US$6200, £4900, CAD$8400
(of course any reasonable offers will be considered)
If you are interested, Send me a message.
Sold complete, will not remove items

Additional Items that the new owner might be interested with:
- Gaerne SG-10 Boots size 13
- 2 Motion Pro Tire Iron Curved 15" (makes fixing flats easy)
- The saddle bags are my creation, combining soft saddle bags with hard bag mounting, 1000 denier exterior + bonded to cut resistant Kevlar lining, pockets on both ends. The left bag has a hard sided secure internal compartment for a 13" thin computer, that can be removed if not wanted.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
