Great video! I completed a 5200 mile trip this summer and like you, used the mesh seat cover. It was fantastic!! My choice of dry bag was a Moose Racing 40L which is inexpensive and it worked awesomely! Myself, I love a tank bag and did most of my charging with a dual outlet USB charger within that tank bag. I did choose to bring a battery bank to charge things at night so I wouldn't have a draw on the R1200GS battery at night. Great tips!!

GSA Rider here, too. Water bottle holder idea was great. I've occasionally used a Camelback style bladder in backpack. It was a bit of a production to fill & clean. (Used to fill w/ ice at McDonalds. Now the fountain drink machines are gone.) Cycling bottle is easier, simpler. Love to hear of other ideas to stay cool in Summer. I'm in South Florida.

I chose to use a Camel Back bladder in a back pack as well. I too stopped at McDonalds or other fast food restaurants to fill it with ice. I would usually ask to buy a large water and they usually charged less than a dollar. That got me a cup to transfer the water and ice into the bladder much easier and I could do it at a table instead of at the fountain. While I was passing through Colorado this July temperatures ran as high as 115 degrees. I knew I was going to run into hot temperatures so prior to my trip I purchased a Ergodyne Chill-Its 6665 Evaporative Cooling Vest off of Amazon for less then $40. That proved to be a great investment and kept me cool and pretty comfortable for 3-4 hours at a time. Once it dried out, I'd stop at a filling station and re-soak in the washroom sink.

I have two of those dry bags. Both also 66L. Different brand but looks and functions exactly the same. One to pack all my camping gear, the other to pack my fly fishing stuff and anything else I would need to be on the road for a week or so. Easy to pack on either one of my bikes. None of my stuff has ever gotten wet. I think I paid around $50 each on Amazon. I also use a Butt Buffer air gel cushion. I wouldn’t ride for hours without it. Especially out here in the Southwest.

I used to have similar boot covers - bought in the 90s but were made of rubber which deteriorated and became hard overtime in storage. The significant difference was mine were much longer up the boot - probably half way up the shin. Much better if pants slid up or stepped in a puddle as mentioned. Also handy to protect good shoes if you use your bike as a primary means of transport and going to a function.

Good short vid 👍 Regarding the seat cover...I've already came across a ton of waaaay different reviews and customer experiences, from which one thing is sure: it either works or not at all. Some praise it, many don't at all. No airflow, no heat dissipation, no water safe seat whats more the exact oppossite of it, several users reported they got more wet as it did hold up the water underneath and they were basicaly sitting in a "lake". TL&DR Don't expect superb experience, try it for yourself and see if it works for you or not.

No cables and waterproof. No sim card needed just pair it to your phone to go online, and you can have google map, waze.. and all other apps running. I even run relive on it.. to record and snapshot marker but do the final relive video on my main phone with photos in it.

I took to wearing plastic bags on my feet these booties would have been perfect. Also, I have a full face helmet, so can't use your cup holder, but I take oil in an aluminum drinks cannister and I might use your idea for that! Thank you. @@mustachemoto

My GS has metal foot pegs with no rubber. It starts to wear through in the arch after wearing them several times, but they haven't ripped and since that's on the bottom it doesn't let any water in. If your pegs are really sharp it might be a problem, but I figure I'll just replace mine every year or two if they get too worn.

Was considering the silicone boot covers, but these have one of (if not THE) highest failure rates of any similar product on Amazon.

I've had great luck with them. After maybe 20 times wearing them I did have some small prick holes in the sole (the GSA foot pegs are pretty aggressive), but they still keep the water out and haven't torn. I'm sure they won't last forever, but for the price I'm very happy, even if I have to replace them once a year or so.

I bought that seat cover and found it useless on my seat. I went with a cover that blows up. Those dry bags are absolutely necessary. I love mine.

I started with an inflatable seat cover and switched to the mesh! My seat is pretty comfortable to begin with, so maybe that's the difference. Please subscribe, I've got more videos in the works.

40l vs 60l? Is it worth it to go with 40l dufflebag with only short trips in mind, or would you recommend sticking to 60? I have old 650gs single cylinder.
@mustachemoto
@mustachemoto 8 ай бұрын
Great question. If you pack light and/or won't be camping, the 40L would probably be enough. On the other hand, the 60L can be cinched down, so you don't have to fill it up on shorter trips. But... when there's space, I always tend to keep throwing things in, so the 40L would force me to not overpack. Keep watching and I'll keep posting!

two plastic bags and aerotape for the legs, military transport bags always good, no power bank when you have a motorcycle battery instead long usb cable, paper maps, water is good, instead the mash leather seat or sheep fur, everything works for 39year, all you need is god will and spirit
