Where to put your tyrelevers

On the XTR, Brake -pedal -side, side cover. There seems plenty of space behind the side cover to fit your tyre levers...I'm just working on it at the moment. I am going to try a waterproof pencil case, just wrapped up, and secured.

Rim protectors (black rims), little bottle of lube, Motion Pro levers....can you get a bicycle pump to fit a motorcycle valve?

This isn't the ASK JMO section anyways (!)......but I DO think the ASK KEV section works well, in that if someone posts a question, you wait for Kev's reply first (that way it is easier to use the thread as a reference with accurate information, rather than wading through pages to find Kev's answer.)

As JMo is very experienced in travel etc., I think it would be good if the ASK JMO section is run in the same orderly way. And if JMO is "out and about", I can't really see a problem in a delayed answer from JMO...

Anyway Denny, when are you going to stop your wind-up's? :-

Here we go...a solution..........

I have fitted 3x 10" Tyrelevers (these are the very expensive, but very light forged aluminium Motion-Pro), a 3/8th ratchet (in one tyrelever), a spoke spanner, 2x rim protectors and one small roll (5m) gaffa tape.

These are cable-tied to the inside of the side panel (brake lever side), and go into a tent peg bag to keep them dry.

Relax mate I was only having a bubble, I thought you realised when you first posted

Back on topic, that's a pretty neat idea with the tools...making use of what little space there is on these machines.
