I ordered all the spares that I want to carry with me on the Baja ride next March. I'm quite pleased that everything, with shipping, comes in less than $100. Not a bad deal.
Over the years I've broken all these items when out on the trail (Except for losing the countershaft sprocket nut). I'll be prepared for Baja. Spare clutch lever Spare front brake lever Spare gear shift lever Spare rear brake lever and pivot bolt Spare clutch cable Spare throttle cable Spare counter shaft sprocket nut and lock washer Cheers, Dan K.

Have a similar list of spares, plus tubes for the Baja trip. Better to have and not need.
Really looking forward to the trip. Should be a great time. Rojo

Travel spares.

Regarding the spare cables, back in the days before standard shifters and when Brit bikes used Whitworth wrenches, we would prepare for a trip by routing the appropriate cable alongside the in-use cable and bound with electrical tape. If suddenly needed, switching over took just a few minutes. |

One step closer to being ready to go. I can't believe it's only about 10 weeks away already.
I picked up a set of CoyoteTrips 2 liter fuel and water carriers and a set of small dry bags. http://coyotetrips.com/fuelcan.html I've already got my stash of spare parts and tools packed. I' close to being ready to go. Cheers, Dan K.

The CoyoteTrips items look nice. If you have time, can you post some photos of the CoyoteTrips mounts, with the items removed?

Spud,
Here's Coyote Trips' web page for the carrier: http://coyotetrips.com/fuelcan/holder.html Or are you specifically interested in seeing how the mounts are attached to the Tourfellas? Cheers, Dan K.

Thank you, Dan. The webpage showed me what I wanted to see.

Baja trip going Rogue
I would be interested in the Baja trip in March but would like a less structured and more flexible one than the official CSC ride.
If there is anyone else like minded then let's do it. |

Who's ready?
Only ~3 weeks away. I can hardly wait.
Got my spares, tools, and gear sorted. Did a dry run packing everything on the bike. My commutes in the mornings on the RX3 and KLR have been frosty so I'm ready for some warm sunny weather and some fish tacos! http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29...gs-closes-i-70 Hope they get this mess cleaned up quickly. They should have two way traffic (one lane each way) open by Thursday but not fully repaired for a month! I'm sure the construction delays will be substantial. It will add a couple hours to the drive to CSC for anybody driving West on I-70. I still may opt for the Southern route depending on weather that will also add a couple hours to the trip. Still hoping to bring back a TT250. Fingers crossed. Rojo

Similarly, my Shinko 244, rear tire still has a bit of life left in it after 13,000 miles. I'm sure your Kenda, K270 tire will prove to be just as durable.
