Sorry guys,

We stopped updating this thread because at the time we wanted to upload the BAM road blog there was a bug on the site preventing us from embedding videos. I'll update this ASAP.

The good news is we're still safe although it's been one hell of an adventure since I last updated this thread.

Pete.

I used the AD-TEK sump guard on my DRZ from UK-Capetown..

Be careful not to over tighen the bolts. The aluminium bends REALLY easily and will begin to shear. Get some large rubber washers with a metal one over it to stop it happening.

Also, hope you've locktite'd your stator and pickup ??

Make sure you have case covers and and proper rad guards too...

Check the oil OFTEN.......Nothing will kill a DRZ faster than letting it drop. Change oil every 3000 miles too if not more.

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.
