Blake's Initial Equipment

One of the other things we discussed during our planning session on Saturday was that it'd be good to do a dry run of camping by motorcycle. We need to sort out who's going to bring what to make sure we don't miss anything or double-pack. Memorial Day weekend provides an ideal time to do this, and it is far enough away that we should be able to get our luggage ordered and installed by then without a problem. We'll also use the weekend to upgrade the doohickey on Matt's bike, as he's stuck his fingers in his ears and shouted "nya nya nya" up to this point.

Matt has already ordered most of the equipment and enhancements he expects to use, so I'll let him post about them. Here's what I've ordered in preparation for the Memorial Day weekend dry run:

Happy Trails Northwest Side Rack

A simple but durable rack for the rear of the bike that will provide a solid mounting point for saddlebags, plus a little crash protection as well. The biggest benefit is that it'll keep my saddlebags far away from the muffler so that they won't melt! Chosen to work with the saddlebags below.

Ortlieb QRL Dry Bag Saddlebags

These soft panniers are made from dry bag material. Properly rolled closed they'll float and they're very abrasion resistant. They're also lighter than aluminum or plastic panniers, and some folks maintain that they won't catch a rider's leg during a fall like hard panniers can. I used to have a pair on my first motorcycle and was quite satisfied with them. They're a little more tedious to open and close than hard panniers, though. The "QRL" version has quick release latches on the backs to attach them to the Northwest rack, making them easy to take on and off the bike.

F1 Engineering Rear Master Cylinder/Brake Mount

The OEM mount is a cheap, forged piece that breaks easily if you fall on the right side. Once it breaks you have no rear brake—a real bad thing when you're in the dirt. F1 Engineering has made a CNC machined aluminum piece to replace it.

Kawasaki Rear Master Cylinder Guard

This is a simple little shield that attaches to the rear master cylinder and keeps the rear brake hoses from getting snagged on any vegetation.
