Nice bike. You'll have owned all the 701 variants soon
What's a "mini Andy"?
I’m getting a Renazco seat done.Infact I’m taking the OE seat to California on Sunday and might even deliver it to James Renazco in person as it’s only a two hour drive from San Jose to his place in Santa Rosa and nearly as cheap to rent a car as to UPS it.
Then I’m waiting for Nomad Adv to finish the kit for the 701 LR (next few weeks) before booking it in for a tower and pannier racks/rear rack something like this :
Not changing wheels or anything else.
Though I am having a set of Conti TA3s put on from the off as I’ll be using it more onroad than off.Would have preferred Pirelli STRs but they don’t do the rear to fit,but I’ve heard good things about TA3s and the TA2s were my go-to tyre on my 950.
Just fancied a lightish bike (155kgs) that has a 300 mile range and can take luggage that will cope with longer trips as well as pissing about in Brittany/Picos etc. (I’ve bought Mosko Moto Reckless 80 bags for luggage).
It’ll be total overkill for my needs but I ran my 950 Super Enduro for a decade with a 30 litre tank and Renazco seat and it was all day comfortable .I see this as a lighter successor.
With the Renazco seat and the Nomad tower/fairing combined with 300 mile range I should be fine to potter down to Spain and then when there just use the rear tank to keep the weight down and go play wherever I want.
Oh yes ,I forgot this.
A total first for me-the hippeeeeee will be so delighted......no Akra.....but this......
PS
Edited to add, also fitting an Oberon clutch slave cylinder as the OE one is a known weak point.
