Economically adventurizing a EXC 500

[ETS]

Planning to go Prieska Mosselbay to CBDA-700km,On my 500. 350 on dirt One day. Back on Sunday another 700km. Anybody want to join me?

You might not like 500 after that trip. 

Wouldn't your SA be much more suited for this?

500 is great bike, but you have to use it for what it is aimed for - offroad riding. It definitely isn't great mile muncher, neither on tar, nor on eash dirt roads.

 I want to be tough

Must say, my preference would be for the ETS one on a dirtbike.

Grondpaaie on the forum had a Renazzo seat, similar concept, but you order in $$

SC - Seat Concepts the best IMHO if you are going aftermarket seat. The nice thing is you can just order the kit (foam and cover) unlike Renazzo and others that will only sell whole seat or you must ship yours for covering - ja not happening. Yes I know we also have Nitrone here but they seem best at re-covering and custom covers rather than shaping comfort seats.

Also the Nithrone seats look good, but is not very durable.
