Long-Term Review of Africa Twin CRF1000 (Part 2/2) - Accessories

[@daviddrabek5834]

Great video, thanks!!

[@msmith2568]

Wow! You seem to have it all for this bike. All you need now are shiny foil Tassels to hang from the ends of your handle bars and a Sissy bar so you can ride with the Banditos. Perhaps someday, you can get some 'Spinner' wheels for riding in the hood too. Just kidding, of course. You have an awesome bike.

Thanks buddy!

Bravo👏 How do you carry your little one on the bike? I have a daughter as well

[@dadontwo-wheels8202]

She doesn't ride on it yet. She is not tall enough to meet the rules of the road. She does ride her own off-road motorcycle now.

Great video! I’m thinking about getting a sargent seat and debating if i should get the low version. Im 5’8 using a standard seat now on low setting and im afraid that the extra width of the sargent will make it harder for me putting my foot down. On the other hand, maybe the low seat might not be comfortable enough for the price. Are you using the low version? And does it feel like its harder to reach the ground than the stock seat?

[@dadontwo-wheels8202]

Great questions. I am only 5'6" and ride the 2017 version. I ride with the seat in the tall setting and tippy toe but it doesn't bother me. The Seargent seat is wider, mainly towards the back but the front is still narrow, just like the stock seat. Compared to the stock seat, there is no decernable difference between the stock one and this one in height. In previous experiences with low seats, is they have less padding. Less padding = lower seat. This, for me, has always led to ride discomfort on long distance trips. With experience and technique you can overcome tall seat heights. These techniques involve balance and shooting your butt to the side is you feel like you need to flat foot the bike. This may make a good instructional video. I may follow through with this... Glad you are finding the content helpful. Good luck on what ever you do and your seat choice. Feel free to reach out with other questions! Hope this help. Please let me know if I can clarify anything.

I own a 2017 model AT thinkin about gettin sargent seat .How has the sargent seat been comfort wise do you notice the centre channel relief wen riding ? Awesome setup you got there

[@dadontwo-wheels8202]

Thank you! The Sargent Seat is pretty nice. It took some getting use to or break in period. Now, I can ride with it all day. The cushion is stiff but offers a comfortable ride. The center channel does take some stress off the tailbone but I am short so I am a slight forward leaner. It would probably be more beneficial if you were taller than 5'6"... I think the main negative is the decorative tubing around the edge. It does occasionally hold moisture after a rain and your pants could get a little damp. Also, that tubing can cause a mild pressure point when sitting in the saddle for multiple hours. Otherwise, it is one of the first things I changed about the almost perfect bike and I have not regretted it! Love the seat. They were a great company to work with, they can customize it to your needs and/or colors too. Great people to deal with one the phone!

@@dadontwo-wheels8202 cheers for the insight of the seat 👌🏻🍻

Any more info on the auxiliary fuel tank?

[@dadontwo-wheels8202]

I just looked for it online. Looks like they don't make it anymore (didn't even see it listed online). Aux fuel tank I originally saw was the Camel auxiliary fuel tank my Camel.

Well I can tell you Hondas new plastic hard cases are a piece of garbage. They break super easy.

[@dadontwo-wheels8202]

I do not think they were originally designed to see any off road. Sometimes designers build a bike or accessories for those that visit the bars or coffee shops and not the type of riding we perform.
