TFT 2010 - (The France Trip 2010)
3012 miles on a Sporster, 2 up!
Oh yes, it can be done!!!
My customizing came to a halt when we decided to do a 3 week trip around France.
I say a halt, but not really!!
Work on preparing the bike and getting all the equipment and items needed was only starting!!
Items:
Saddle Bags
Rear Light relocation kit
Windscreen
Rear rack for baggage
Helmet lock
rack bags
Tom Tom Rider and fitting equipment
New Helmets
Scala rider headsets
Here's some pics of the bike being transformed fom a single seater to a Touring king!!
Relocation of the rear lights and rear rack fitted.
Saddlebags fitted
Windscreen fitted. This turned out to be the best decision ever!
READY FOR THE ROAD!!
All packed.
After about 20 miles in the saddle we realised we were far too heavy and the
low shocks were now letting us down. We ended up damaging the cover holding the
power commander and luckily didn't cause any other major damage.
A little gaffer tape and we were all set!
I placed the power commander in a ziplock bag to protect it from the rain and
placed it in the sadllebag until we got back to the UK to have a new holder installed.
The next 3 weeks were amazing! A trip around all the hotspots of France.
I would definately recommend it.
Ps. To all the HD riders that think you can only tour on a Softail or Tourer, what about
all the guys that went around the world on 500cc bikes in the 70's and 80's???
I SAY: Man up Biaaatches!! :)))
