Tools for Africa Twin long trip
 

Having just returned from seven months in Europe and West Africa (my god it went quicky), I thought someone might like to see the list of tools I took.


I went two-up with m'lady Angelika. If you like, you can find out other trip info from the blog.



It was, I think, minimalist but included the essentials:


BigTrip19: Only for the moto-enthusiast...

Yeah, not so different from me. May I suggest you replace your rear right 6204 wheel bearing with a 4204 (sealed). Instead of failures at 30,000 klms +/-, you'll get twice that. If you do, you'll need to shorten the space by about 4mm from memory to accomodate the double row 4204. Then just replace all bearings every 60k- 80k klms and you shouldn't need to carry bearings. Of course very dependent on where you go and for how long. Why CO2 cannisters If you have a pump? I'd ditch them as well. I carry a full set of combination spanners from Lite Tool of Japan, well worth it.
