Da Travel Kit!

This list was compiled in March so some usables have been used and some things have been added. A rough guide though.  This is mostly for other travellers to get an idea of what you carry.  I think my luggage is about 30 kg...which is a lot!  This is all I have and own just about and will be living with this gear for the next couple of years.

Motorbike
1 x Suzuki DR650 SE

Various Ockie straps
1 adjustable strap for support for side bags

Barkbusters (protect levers mainly and hands)
Windshield (for the rain, wind and fuel economy and reducing daily rider fatigue)
Customized Electrics panel w/ GPS mount
Bashplate
