Further equipment and accessoiries |
What else we are planning to carrie with us and on our motors...?
( tank-bags, boxsystems, pack bags, sleeping bags... )- our experience with the used equipment and
with our motobikes, you can read on the page [Testing]
and from February 2005 also in our travel-logs..
Many reports we read, told about parcels filled with unused material, which were sent back after a few
weeks.
We wonder when we will send back our first parcel.

You should not overdo with you equipment...
...therefore our further baggage contains mostly the usual outdoor equipment.
If somebody is interested in details, he could
mail us, or take a look
at our
( Word-Dokument, 229KB ( both in German! ), or
PDF, 280KB ).

Tires:
We decided us for using the mefo Explorer for the whole way.
The 'Explorer' tires have beeen fitted to our motorcycles yet and two pairs of the 'Explorer' we will carrie with us.
Because until the streets of Mongolia we will mostly have asphalt and gravel under the tires, the Explorer should
be allright. The Explorer should also be a very long-life tire.

The Fueltank-bag on the XL is a modified model from Polo-Shop, the 'Pharao'
with side-bags. Modified by a bag-maker with clips and belts so that the broken zipper is no more needed.
The side-bags are now fixed with belts, so that their zipppers can also give up...
The modification was cheaper -45 €, that is fair - than buying an new one which is also only
equiped with zippers...

Box-systems:
Both motorbikes are equiped with boxes from
Hepco & Becker.
The Baghira carries the legendary aluminium boxes 'Standard', Volume 37 l.,
which has already been succesfully tested on our Greek-Tour in September 2003.
At the XL are also boxes from
Hepco & Becker installed -
the new boxes 'Gobi'.
It made me curious to be able to carring 3,5 l water in each box! Also the less weight of 3 kg and the promised
stability made me wonder - so I bought them.
We say THANKS to Hepco & Becker for their friendly support!

Sleeping bags
Because of the support from unterwegs.biz (look at [Sponsors] ) we was already able to use our
ajungilak® compact sleeping-bags.
In the cold nights at the Intermot2004 in Munich we were very happy about them!
Together with the Cocoon®-Inlays (look at [Sponsors] ) they made us warm feet!
We are looking forward to the 'real' use in a few month...
