Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Scenes from a motorcycle trip.

Well hey! Thanks for the positive feedback all

When I got back, I was all wired for a bigger bike, wanting to take the missus somewhere too. Found a Honda 1300 v-twin with bags and windshield for only $5,000, was pumped.

But then, I'm sorta hooked on the simplicity of the KLR, and we used to put in all-day rides two-up on this thing (don't laugh, over much of the world, and back in my youth, the KLR is a big bike..

Here's the bike, one more time....




A problem of length, and space.... note how the saddlebags impinge upon the passenger pegs, and how that backpack bungeed on the back (going into it I figured there was a 50/50 chance I'd be walking home) extends over the end of the seat.

Fear not! Being as the KLR has been around forever... There are aftermarket solutions...

Rear set side racks....



...and an expanded, rearset luggage rack, that matches a hard luggage case if ya want (be nice to have a component that locks)....



Plus, to make use of all that wasted space up front.... a KLR-specific tank bag, front panniers, and in-front-of-the-windshield tool kit....



Turns out you can make a KLR into a regular Gold Wing... Here's the highway pegs....




Hmmm... 2,000 miles to Chiapas, another 600 miles to Costa Rica through Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua... hmmm....

We're a long way from going at this point, but the thought has crossed our minds...
