Took a little break from the long week and got the new horse out for another ride this aftenoon. I played around the highway pegs. When I first saw them on the bike, I thought those are way too high to do any good, but I was surprised. They do put my knees pretty high, but I can see how it might be a nice change out on a long ride.
Anyone else have them on their vstrom or other adventure bike? Of course, on cruisers they are common. I just didn't think they were even available on adventure style bikes. This brings me to another question, and maybe it deserves it's own thread, but what are your favorite farkles on your adventure bike? What are your must haves? Are all your farkles practical or are some of them just for looks? How about to me pictures of your favorite adds on your bikes? |

View Quote I have pegs on my bike too...only put them on when I'm doing a long trip tho. They can be a lifesaver on a long stretch. Looks goofy, but fuck it. For farkles, I only add stuff that helps me ride further/better/easier...never about looks for me. The Strom is a goofy fucker and I'm dressed like a Martian....I'd be fucked if I were going to try to make me any cooler looking. Pretty much chick-repellant as it stands. Other than what I consider to be essentials to an adventure bike (engine protection, panniers, seat-upgrade, personalized controls) my favorite thing on the bike bar none is the GPS (TomTom Rider in my case). When people don't like riding with a GPS, it's often because they haven't explored the ways in which they can compliment and change your ride for the better. It's all in how you use it. Mine has an .mp3 player in it too, and I love having some tunes on a trip but it's great for turn-by-turn navigation...to free my eyes up. But, also I love that I can pre-program routes, stops, abandon that at will or return to an itinerary. With a good GPS, you can change how it routes to keep you on curvy, interesting roads, stick to the faster freeways, calculate your distance, mileage, keep an eye on your time, know your direction and location instantly, find nearby points of interest, state parks, know the name of roads you've passed, make notes on what you're seeing and where it was, even communicate your location to someone in case of distress. They help you know your exact speed, which IME most motorcycles are off. They're really just essential to me. Some farkles don't have to be so glamorous...some of my favorite pieces of gear are also the cheapest. A cramp-buster is great to keep your throttle hand from feeling like tenderized meat - all of $8. I keep an absorbant cooling towel in a zip-lock bag with some water in it when I ride in any heat...great, cheap tool for instantly cooling you down and super fast to recharge. Just throw it over my neck and onto my chest...instant relief. Under $5 at Wally World. The Shampa "tube" head wrap is a great thing to have too, $12 and it works as a neck warmer, balaclava, helmet liner, even a tourniquet if need be. The Agri-Supply tool tube is a well-loved farkle for WeeStroms...so handy to store chain lube and some duct tape, or an MSR fuel bottle, whatever. For the $, you can't beat it. I swap my foot pegs with the ebay KLR style...grabs better, more rugged, no slipping if I'm standing or my boots are muddy. I think they're $17 or something cheap like that. |
|
I can defiantly see the attraction of different pegs.
I'm finding the klr style MX foot pegs on amazon for about 20.00. Is the hook up universal, or do I need to find a set that has a Suzuki specific attachment point? ETA: The agri tube thing is amazingly awesome. I was thinking, I need more storage when I don't want the givi box on the back. I've got a small tube under the Sargent seat, but this is just perfect. |

I had Givi crash bars on my Vee. No highway pegs, but i'd put my feet up on top of the bars, not too bad. a bit high though.
Like Swingset, GPS is a must have for me. For all the reasons he listed. I have a Zumo 450. It was the very first thing to get put on the Tiger when I got it, and now the FJR. A good tool kit and tire kit are must haves. Make sure anything you might do can be done with the kit on the bike. get the tar strings and a small compressor for the tires. I got a nail in the middle of nowhere, so glad I had the kit. By middle, i mean about 90 minutes ride at 80mph from anything. Swingset has said everything I would. Like he's stealing my thoughts! or i stole his on ADV years ago I recommend Seat Concepts if you dont like the stock seat. I cant say enough good about Lem and his crew. They went way out of their way, giving me ride in service, free installation, free loaner seat, paid to return the loaner, etc.. super awesome people!!!! plus the seats are fooking awesome. Wish they made it for the FZJ also, anyone here ride a Vee, not wee ???? |

D2 moto used to have them for like $10, dunno if they still do. The Agri Tube mounts up super easy to the left-Givi rack with 5/8" insulated clamps (one on each end) and a zip-tie to stabilize it. You can even mount two tubes one over the other if you really want more space in there. The tool kit conversation is a good one too, the OEM kit is just about disposable and there's a laundry list of expedient repairs you can't get done with it. There's some good threads on the Strom forums about it, but I'll make a list of what I carry and in my close to 100k miles on Stroms, trust me either I used the tools on my bike or someone else's. I've gotten pretty good at building a lean kit that addresses most shit that happens. |

I was thinking of getting a tire repair kit. Can you recommend one? I don't have a accessory power outlet, so I was looking at the kit withe co2 cartridges. Seems I could carry quite a few extras, just in case. Suggestions?

Seems I could carry quite a few extras, just in case. Suggestions? View Quote A quality string plug is sufficient to outlast the tire and the easiest to fix road-side or in a pinch, if you don't get stupid and ream a 1/2" hole in the tire they're GTG. I've put them in several tires and cars and never had a failure or even a slow leak out of one - but I used good quality ones (Tech brand is my choice, used them when I worked in a tire shop). You can always use a mushroom or interior plug later to fix it more stoutly if you worry over that stuff. I use an Ultraflate C02 rig too, they work good Takes about 5-7 of them to fill the rear tire (I just use the Crossman ones from air guns, much cheaper). They have the advantage of A. not taking a shit on you like a little compressor that will overheat and B. they will seat a tire back on the bead if it's come off...the little compressors won't do that very well if at all. The only thing is they get CRAZY fucking cold...don't bare hand one. |

Quoted: A tool kit is also a great idea. I wouldn't know what exactly to pack though. Does anyone carry extra parts like a chain? Or are there other parts that tend to fail? View Quote Chain failure is very rare on a bike like the Strom (big chain, not a crazy amount of power on it). It'll clue you in long before it shits most likely. If I were going RTW I might take a quick link or two and a short piece of repair chain. They don't tend to break. If it's puking red dust, keeps going out of adjustment, or shows kinking and binding, it's done. Also, if your sprockets go shark-toothed, time for all new. Helps to run on the looser side of the adjustment scale too...too tight will kill chains. I don't carry any spare parts, but on a long trip I'd carry an extra clutch cable and something to fab up a shift pedal lever/brake lever. I've snapped both before. I do carry an assortment of common bolts and fasteners tho...even tho I've loctited things, it's amazing what can work itself loose when Murphy strikes. I'll snap a pic of my kit and lay out a list of what I pack, might give you some ideas. BTW, if you sign up for the AMA with auto-renew, which is like $39 a year, you get all the usual perks and discounts (like Bikebandit 10% your orders, hotels, rentals, etc) but it comes with roadside assistance which they tailor to bike friendly haulers (if they can). That's a great deal, compared to AAA's. AMA also covers you in your car. |

Yeah, don't stress too much over what can go wrong (*unless you ride offroad, recklessly). The Wee's gremlin list is very short compared to most bikes out there. Lube the chain, change your air filter, ride the piss out of it.
Headlight relay kit might be prudent at some point, and if you do any tank-off engine work maybe do the external fuel filter mod. That's about the only things I'd say are issues that seem to strike folks with any frequency (and even then it's very hit and miss). The best Wee farkle is gas. |

You might as well add some fishing line and some hooks in there and maybe a water purification straw as well. |

View Quote I do carry a water purification filter in my hydration pack. Again, some of that stuff is for long trips and in no way am I saying you need all that. If I'm going to be riding around the very populated eastern part of the US, a good deal of that stuff isn't going. If I'm in New Mexico 75 miles into the desert on a dirt road with baby-head rocks on it? Shit...that kit isn't enough. On that one I'll have extra levers, a SPOT, rotopak some oil, and a water cube. I've been a part of a couple rides where I didn't bring enough shit for the issues that happened either to me or someone else. I had to bitch-haul a friend out of a Upper Peninsula trail about 20 miles of sandy, washed out shit because we didn't have a simple item that would have gotten him moving again. That made for a super fucking long day, and a miserable return to extract his bike. Should have been a 10 minute fix, but the ride was ruined by being unprepared for a likely thing in offroad travel. When I commuted on a little bike, my kit was a cell phone and a credit card. Your risk tolerance is entirely subjective, but so are your rides and access to help. |

Thank you Swingset for all the details. I'm going to try to consider what I need and put together a similar kit. Very informative, I appreciate it.

If you guys are packing levers because drop your bikes so often MAYBE some armored handguards are in order.
It'll keep you from wasting the time putting a new lever on, because when you go to pick up your bike you'll notice that once again the levers aren't broken. |

Ok, I'm going to point out a flaw in the V Strom design. Who the hell designs a bike or any vehicle where the gas tank has to come off to clean and change the air filter. Thats pretty fucked up.
I managed to get the tank off and the filter blown out, but it just seems like a crazy amount of work to do it. The worst part was, it wasn't even that dirty. A few bugs, but that was it. I think it got serviced when the chain and sprocket were also serviced. |

Wife leaves for a couple days with her mother tomorrow.
This means I tear into the bike tomorrow night to replace the handlebars and grips. I'm planning on using heat resistant paint/grill paint as the grip glue unless someone thinks thats a bad idea.
