Motoes Luggage Racks

Image
I have a set of Enduristan Blizzard saddle bags from my previous bike, and they are a good fit for the T7 as well. In order to protect the side panels from scratching, and to give the luggage a bit more surface to lean against, I added these lightweight side luggage racks. There are a number of options available, some very minimal ( Perun ), some a bit more substantial ( Adventure-Spec , Rally Raid , Donner-Tech ). Being located in the Philippines means I always have to take shipping into account when looking for parts - unfortunately often a good deal is spoiled by big shipping costs, or no shipping option to my location at all. I ended up with the  Motoes   side racks . They are very similar to the Adventure-Spec racks, but cost a lot less - I got them on sale for $159. Most importantly, they shipped to the Philippines at a very reasonable cost ($20, with Fedex, took less than 10 days). I am very happy with how they fit on the bike. I'll post an update with mounted Enduris...

First Ride

Image
The usual stop and go to get out of Cebu City, later some nice winding roads across the mountain range towards Moalboal and further south to the Ferry port and on to Dumaguete.  First Impression: Love it! It's such a difference and overall improvement over the 390 Adventure. Seating position feels really comfortable out of the box.
