Breathing some life into this...any folks from SA coming to Biketoberfest in Daytona?

So far the best thing I have found is from Techmounts. Far less expensive than the TT stuf and multi-functional. I have a 2610 mounted using their system. https://techmounts.com/

Thanks for the Primus tip...

True. But I am working under the assumption that eventually I hit fuel and will want to top everything up. That failing, the MSR bottles make for a handy urn for your ashes.

I am working on a bracket that will fit onto the rear luggage rack of my Husky and will hold two 33oz MSR fuel bottles. fuel is a challenge, to be sure. I don't like the idea of packing on my person or internally in panniers because leaks go unnoticed or can pool fluid.

Seek out some of the Doohickey threads on KLRforum.com. Also, most times, you can re-use the original gaskets.

I took the XT350 on a 45-mile enduro trail. Singletrack, palmetto stumps, cypress knobs, rough ground all around. The tireballs work great after you learn to find a median psi to ride with. Tireballs are inflated individually, then everything gets coated with silicone spray (you need to keep...

Bump--still in search of a bike to purchase in Windhoek.

artman--sent you a PM. Would love to join up. Arrive July 3 for certain.

Whazzit? Nobody riding in July? This will be interesting if it turns out to be a solo trip. Appears departure will from Windhoek, as I am meeting a bike there now. Took the XT350 for a trial load run with 40lbs and full fuel. My riding partners were on two 950s...we rode very dry sandy...

Won't know 'til tomorrow, but Peter Dickman in Windhoek may have something almost identical to the XT350. Thanks for the good thoughts our way.

Got my shots a couple weeks ago, passport renewal in progress, and flight intinerary. Hopefully the departure gate is strategically located...

Update...hats off to those who saw this train coming...Shipping anything less than a full container to Walvis Bay is very impractical. Between shipping, customs on both sides, duty, registration, and insurance, when we were offered the eyes and ears of Windhoek Suzuki, we jumped at the chance to...

Sold...went with the KLR

3 July I get to Windhoek...solo so far on my ride. Not good.....

Look up Jeff at tireballs and ask him if they ship. I can bring a set over if you can meet me in Joburg airport 3 July.

I just bought a bike that has been fitted with a product called a tire ball. This might be of interest: www.tireballs.com

I wish I could make it but my bike won't land in Walvis Bay until July...

I'll hopefully have time between flights for a sampling of SA's hops and barley! Looks like three elbows on the bar so far....

Looking to form up a group of at least four bikes leaving WH or WB. I am very active on www.advrider.com and some of you folks have been kind enough to extend very helpful introductions and bits of advice. So far, I am the only American shipping out. I speak limited German and passable...
