I think the cheapest AND strongest option are the Happy trail rack with 2 pelican 1440 case, those one are top loader. With this setup you won't mind dropping your bike when you ride some rought trails.
Bought some advmonster led light for it, the M60 rated at 3600 lumens each.
The second pic show the stock headlight on hi beam, the last one show stock headlight with hi-beam and the aux light on.... 8)
Markething.....
Yamaha almost doing nothing to promote this bike, when BMW does a lot for the GS serie.
Also the Gs serie is the "flag ship" of the bike adv bike for half a century, so give it some time!
Yamaha's crashbar does not offer any kind of protection for the radiator unless you drop your bike on a perfect flat surface. For a much lower price you can get GIVI one, and they get the job done, trust me!! Tryed several time :D
Who run this tire?
How long it last on pavement?
I was thinking of running a E-10 front/ E-07 rear for my 7500 miles road trip this summer. The last 2500 miles will be on pavement, so I don't care if the knob are worn out more than half.
