Talking Hello from the South West UK

Hello all,

After recently passing my test, i bought a 2008 XT660Z Tenere Its brilliant. Thought id join here to get some maintenance tips and modding help! So far, i dont have much. Current specs are as follows:

-2008 in the white and red trim
-30,000m
-Aux power box
-Oxford hot grips
-Barkbusters
-Custom seat
-Metal mule lowering links (Im 5ft8 and this is my first bike!)
-Adjustable levers
-Top box

Call me crazy, but im setting about going around the world on this bike next year. Will it make it? who knows.. but im lucky enough to be able to take some time off, strap some luggage on and give it a try. To that end, im looking to get it ready for such a trip next year. Specifically, im looking at installing the following:

-Luggage rack and boxes
-o2 Mod
-Putting together a proper toolkit
-Learning how to service it properly in the field
-Semi-knobblies for the mixture of roads ill encounter
-GPS/Phone mounts

If anyone could point me in the right direction (especially the o2 mod, i cant seem to find one anywhere!) thatd be great!

If anyone is located in the south west UK itd be great to ride out and chat XTs!
