Excellent advice. Wife and I already had all of those points well and truly sussed, however it was by trial and error. Nice work. Liked and subscribed.
Hi, the weight up and back is not the best choice for centering the masses, placing your bag between your saddlebags on the saddle would be better in the event of falls to pick up the bike, it's easier. To have tested both positions. That's what I prefer. Subject to not exceeding 30Liters and little weight inside. The saddle is very long on the PR 7. For weight distribution it is preferable to have slightly larger saddlebags 2 X 20/25L and a small bag on top rather than 2 bag on it. For many years that I have been going on motorcycle raids depending on the length of the trip, it is always a compromise between driving comfort and general comfort. See you soon.
So right said about lowering the load. I just fitted a pair of cycle bags really low so the bottom of the bags is in line with the bashplate. It was a huge improvement compared to having bags on the back seat.
Yeah it's the Thork Racing DMD T865 tablet. The old tablet was playing up a bit but it was 7 years old. Had to go. Did some research and thought the DMD was the best option. Will review it at some stage from the perspective of a person who hates tech. Thanks for watching Regards Steve
very sound advice; like you i really didn't want crash bars but you have made a real-world use for them; i used to ride with a camel back and store my tools/tube/filter/snacks in that but the ol' back isn't what it used to be; personally i'd like a bit more capacity in the saddle bags but i guess we have to take the muffler into account; i just ordered the CFmoto450 as my new steed after a few-too-many years off the bikes so i'll be checking out some bags that fit well to the bike; are you a local to Maryborough by any chance? i'm near Avoca.
Hi Mark, yeah had a look at a CF Moto 450 last weekend a very nice looking bike. The Chinese have really up there game with manufacturing. Specs up really nice. I'm in Warragul but was up your way two weeks ago, did a great ride through Maryborough, Avoca, Halls Gap and across to Balmoral have a look at my latest vid I put up last night. Thanks for watching Regards Steve
Lol yeah U can end up pretty heavy. Your level of comfort and peace of mind is a personal thing as long as your happy with what U take all good. For me the lighter the bike the more fun I have. Thanks for watching Regards Steve

Great to see the Gay community supporting the channel!

Yeah makes the handling a lot better and your far less likely to drop it. Cycle bags are a great idea well done. Thanks for watching

Great setup, can’t believe you can fit a chair in as well. Noticed the Tesla screen in your cockpit, when do we get to hear about that?

Crumbs ... I have two saddle bags of 30l and a 25l tools and spares bag and even then a tight squeeze.
