Why?
Advice given so far and action taken:-
1. Subframe strengthening = not now doing it because it’s not needed
2. Tent make = several recommended Hilleberg = bought one ( bigger for family use too )
3. Top box = ditched in favour of a roll bag ( big weight saving )
4. Water filter thingy = not needed
5. Rear seat removal = done already ( another big weight saving )
6. Change of gearing for off-roading = 850GS final drive bought today ( off here )
7. Footpeg change = Fastway pegs bought ( off here )
8. Boot type = stronger / more supportive on the shopping list
So please don’t think any advice isn’t being listened to.
It is and I’m taking action.
More advice is always welcomed too.
