Prepping a CB500 for a world tour
I'm preparing for a monster tour on my trusty old CB500. Along with a whole host of replacements (brake discs, front forks, rear suspension, chain, sprockets, new front tyre), full service, fit engine bars, etc. I want to get it a bit more prepped for poor tracks/basic off-road: sump guards, fork gaiters and lever guards to start off with...
So...
1. Sump Guard: I want to find a sump guard that will fit onto the bike. I'm thinking it would best fit onto the engine bars and am curious as to whether anyone's had any experience specifically with a CB500.
2. Lever guards that fit a 2002 CB500S.
3. Tank panniers that could allow me to get a little more weight further forwards on the bike.
4. Fork Gaiters: Are these pretty much standard across all front forks?
Any thoughts?
