Preparing my Africa Twin for overland trip to Kathmandu
Hi everyone,
I'm preparing my 1997 AT for an overland trip to Kathmandu and could use some advice on how to modify AT for this trip. We will ride two up and will follow more or less the hippie trail. Once in Kathmandu we will probably continue our trip to Cambodia supposed we get through Birma. This trip is planned for 2015 at the earliest but will most likely happen in 2016.
Done already:
heated grips
two 12V sockets on the dashboard
digital voltmeter
vacum fuelpump
rugged roads crash bars
african queens roll-over bar
headlamp guards
lowering set
Metzeler Tourance tires
Planned:
Double Philips X-treme Vision H4 60/55 bulbs
Continental TKC80 tires
Hepco & Becker alu cases 37L + 45L
HyperPro Progressive rear shock spring
HyperPro Progressive front shock springs
One problem is that I want to use my Hepco & Becker cases on the AT but don't like the H&B rack because the cases sit way too high. Anyone ever used H&B cases with a none H&B rack?
All comments and recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.
