You gotta wonder at some folk, I mean, there is a servo every 50km here in NZ, now I would understand if he was going to traverse Africa.................

Fine if you plan your rides, but if you just feck about wondering "where that track goes " having that extra range means you can do that instead of having to ride out of your way to gas up then go back. if you have 400 k plus range it just gives another dimension to adventuring/dual sporting.

That's pretty rich coming from somebody who's 700km range DR650 has been known to run out of gas in NZ

I reckon about 250-300km is a good range for NZ. I've never felt the need here for more than the 350-400km I can do. Oz is a different story though...

Said the North Islander.

There will not be fuel for 600km of the Dusty Butt if we do a evening start. Actually there is fuel but we can't get it cause we are too backwards down here for the card at pump etc. Molesworth is 200km min without fuel which is pushing things on the stock DR tank.

I'm with Clint, a 250-300 makes life a whole lot easier.

Yeah, stock 990 adv tank only good for about 330(?).

So, a coke bottle or a cheap camp stove fuel cell will suffice eh?

Ok, ok....now I take full responsibility for that oversight!

It in no way reflects on the tank size/range of a motorcycle.

[junkmanjoe]

well i decided to make my own set of saddle bag racks for the 950..

went down to steel supplier and brought $22 worth of 10mm round and 25mm x 3mm flat.


i then sat on my little chair in the shed and looked at the arse of the bike...........man it looks good.....
made a design in me head and started to bend up the steel.

and heres what i came up with..
basic and strong.
just need to paint it now and we are done....
