A bit of feedback - done now 7500km of a southern Africa trip , currently in Malawi after moz and zim varied roads with dirt being the preferred option . As to raising the front Fender , don't waste your money been running tck80 front tire and in all the dirt I have travelled with some extremely stony roads I have not had any issue at all , it's your money use this advise or not . As to getting wider pegs I had some and in sand they connect into your legs if you have to paddle a bit , got my originals sent up to me and they are perfect , honda did a great job with them , but hey its your money . Dinged my rims in Mozambique on a monster pot hole , thank god the bike has a tubed wheel set up otherwise I would be still sitting there crying . Dct gearbox is amazing for long days in the saddle , less room for error especially at the end of the day when getting to most of the guesthouses/lodges involves at least 10km of sand . Makes long distance riding a pleasure . Bike is heavy , don't deny yourself this truth but her weight is low down and the gearing is great for long continuous stretches of deep sand while fully loaded , even two up !. Small Things are such a pleasure on this bike , like being able to simply adjust the headlights on the side of the road to accommodate having a passenger at night - just a turn dial . Range so far has been adequate for my journey , I brought along a 5 litre fuel cell but haven't had the use for it yet . I am getting roughly 350km on a tank regardless of regardless of research road conditions . Good bike , starts with a pur . The Honda oem charging point is useless , the fuse blew while using a compressor , it's too much of a pt to even bother find the fuse under all the plastic , luckily I brought another one which I wired direct to the battery , no problems with that . It does have quite a presence so does attract a lot of attention which is not always ideal at the arse end of nowhere . Seat is comfortable but no couch but in its favour is there is plenty room to scoot up and down the seat to change your position , I an finding 70km stretches are my max then I need to jump off and stretch my legs . Speedo is out by about 10% , the lights as they are are great and very adequate . Nothing much to change on this bike aside from maybe get yourself some crash bars at the front as the plastics seem weak . Cheers Derek
