Great job Pat, the bike looks cool we must think alike!
Will post the pictures of my XT660Z set up to ride from John O Groats to Thailand via Tibet and Everest base camp this July, have a set ARD cases from Roger great quality, the only thing i need are the larger foot pegs, think the SW Motech will be good for me.

Cheers Revenue - would be great to get some shots of your Z. I agree about the need to change out the standard pegs. Mine are Pivot Pegs, which are really comfy for normal riding, but I�m not 100% sure about them for standing up for any length of time... we�ll see, and I�ll post how I get on with them on the blog. Would be good to hear your views on the SW Motech ones in due course.
Thanks
Pat

Take some plastic bags for when it rains put the bags inside boots to keep them dry and black bags to put over laggage for when gets too heavy

Thumbs up

Hi Pat.

Really looking forward to reading what you write whilst on the ride . . . . . and I'm not at all envious at all! Not one Bit. No, none

Stay safe and enjoy every single minute of your trip . . . . cos next time we meet I'll be asking lots of questions.

Steve T

Many thanks Steve - I�ll try not to rub it in too much in my blog

But more importantly, I�ll try and keep it interesting.

I�ll be posting a little note on the Trip Log section of the forum when I update the blog - I case you don�t want to register on the blog direct.

Cheers
Pat
