ogio flight vest to be able to carry alot more stuff and spread out the load comfortably.

a giant loop coyote saddle bag for your camping gear and supplies, tent sleeping bag etc..

lots of fuel, spare tubes, pump...there are lots of threads on this topic with other helpful ideas

Dittos on the Coyote from Giantloopmoto.com,,,larger fuel tank,,,

IGIO FLIGHT VEST FOR SURE !!!!!. $125

Replacement 100oz camelbak resivoir to replace small OGIO one in Flight Vest $30

Some kind of hand guards (bark busters). $80

An offroad jacket with removable sleeves is great. Waterproof if possible. $150-$200

Tire repair kit. $40

Tire spoons (get one of the ones that has the wrench that fits your rear axle on one end. $30

Trial tire is great for trail rides D803 Dunlop $80

EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA Heavy tubes $25 ea (front and rear)

An extra tube to go in the pack with the repair kit. $25

Front fender pack to carry extra tube and tire repair kit and spoons. $30

Buddy Tow strap $15

Brake Snake for rear brake and shift lever $15 for both

Think that is about $700 or so already.

steal my line.....?

i got my ogio flight vest from locomx.com for $109 buck +free shipping + no tax. good deal.

the giant loop is $300 bucks

a good sleeping back $150-300

good small tent $200

it adds up for sure but you dont need everything to get started...build up over time.

you should be able to get a good bag for way less than 150

i've never paid more than 80 for a good backpacking bag. try dicks sporting goods

don't skimp on the tent though. nothing worse than getting soaked in the

middle of the night.

[kellymac530]

you can get a good +35 or +40* bag for less for sure even as low as 40 bucks at my local army/navy surplus store they have a military mummy bag that is +20* they have one that is really small.

but if you want a good +0* bag you can pay up to 400 bucks at rei or dicks or sports auth.

but yes a tent is a good place to spend the money savings...read the product ratings on tents online before you buy.

skid plate,radiator guards,hand guards,maybe a bigger tank for those long trail rides.

I remember one Thanksgiving the whole family was over my bro's house and he was using the giant flatscreen for a monitor. My sis in law wanted some scuba stuff so she went to dicks dot com. .........classic fubar event ?

btw, it was not the stores site........

check timing chain tension,

drive chain and sprockets wear,

rimlock tight, tires good, heavy duty tubes, spoke tension,

clutch, brake and thottle cables lubed, brake pads,

new motor oil, spark plug and all of your filters?

I would stay away from locomx at any cost. They sell alot of different things but don't seem to have any merchandise in stock. I ordered a quite popular helmet and goggles. They were backordered for 2 weeks before they told me and led me to believe that they had shipped. I cancel the order and they ship it anyway. Get the stuff three and a half weeks after ordering. They never answer the phones or return messages and they have yet to refund my money after returning it two weeks ago. I have had great luck with Bike Bandit though.
