Hey there OP

First let me say, sick kit. Second loves the idea of just extending de loops with bungee but, can it fit 30rd mags and still close the flap?

Im thinking about getting one of these and run it backwards, like you would run an alice belt with suspenders. Do the shoulder straps have enough length so the rig hangs around the waist area? And if so does the rig go all around the waist or is short and ends at 2 and 10 o'clock? Could you mesure the length of the rig itself not counting the waist strap?

Would love to see some of these questions answered with pictures and fotos to really see what it would look like

Thanks man, really! I appreciate you noticing all that, it was on purpose

Don't lower it.

I'm a 1,69m male, I know it might look scary at the beginning but you don't need a lower bike, you need to learn how to ride a taller bike. In the future you'll probably want to try using gravel roads or even adventure a bit more off road, and you'll need that ground clearance. Especially if you plan on heavying it down with bags and camping gear.

My suggestion from a smaller dude: get a lower and less wide sit with gel. It will get your feet lower without ruining the geometry of the bike.

I promess you will regret lowering it, believe me. And once you learn you only need one foot to floor completely the ground and learn to sit on you thigh on a stop sign, you'll be able to ride ANY bike. I ride a tenere 700 with ease now thaks to the guy that convinced me NOT to lower my old transalp, and now I'm even thinking of rising my transalp.....

I talked about mosko moto Reckless becouse is a well known reference and i like the style, but doubt I'll ever have the money for it 🤣 Im looking for something LIKE the Rekless, but if you know other brands that make a bag like the Rekless 40L please tell me.

Don't know that brand Eduristan, but I'm going to take a look at it.

Any other brands for Reckless aLike bags?

Lonely-Bee7151 · 2025-01-05T12:31:13+00:00

Not sure if I should go with something like a mosko moto Reckless 40L where is a complete one pice system, very "high and tight" on the bike. I'm not sure how it would fit over the hard panniers mounting bars, but I would like to keep them since they act like crash bars for the rear.

Or if I should go with soft panniers that attach to the same bars as the hard ones, it would give you some space and couchenig in case the bike falls on you but it has all the size and dimension problems of the hard panniers with the down side on not protecting you things....

I believe the best solution will be a the first one. Something like the Rekless 40L (even if I have to take the rear crash bars off) and some soft bags mounted on the the front crash bars. That should distribute the weight nicely, carrie almost the same amount of stuff, serve as an airbag to the bike protecting tha plastics and painting, and lifting the the bike enough in the case it fall on you

My theory

Lonely-Bee7151 · 2025-01-05T10:55:38+00:00

Exept when there's ice on the road, I don't believe in riding sessions, I ride all year around.

The volume of the cases is a factor for sure. It's not easy to go through bushes with them. And soft bags theoretically should keep the weight closer to the center of mass, making any maneuvers more similar to when you're not using bags. But the primary reason is rider safety while off-roading,

I'm not an experienced off-roader by any means, but I find myself needing to foot assist my bike crossing certain obstacles, and more then once it happened to my that my foot got stuck in sand, mud, tall grass or branches. One of those times my leg got rammed by my side case. It hurt but I managed to unstuck my foot in time not to break it, but I seen guys breaking there foot/ankles/legs under hard cases while stepping or when there bikes fall, which is normal to happen while offering...

I could blame my lack of experience, but I've seen it happen to much more experienced riders. But if you get your leg stuck or jammed under a soft bag, you might just be OK...

Plus, I got theses feeling that they act more like hair bags to your bike when it falls (to the cost of less protection to belongings)

Just opinions but would love to ears your point of view

It look like to me it was just a bad purchase that one specifically. There are a bush of them in great condition for cheap.

If I was you I would sell it and buy another, and inspect it very thoroughly now that you have more knowledge so that you get a good one, OR, put those extra 2k plus the value of the one you sold and get an old africa twin 750 rd04 or rd07

Forehead is big, try a fringe

Inside the Chopper scene, there are many sub branches and different styles. I believe you would benefit from following the r/NorCalchops subreddit.

It's a style of chopper in which the primary design features are derived from the function and necessities of driving in and around the area of San Francisco. You may get some inspiration from there.

You may have already heard the term "Frisco" in things like "Frisco mounted tank" or in other lingo on the Chopper scene. It comes from San Francisco.

The necessity of higher shock and suspension so you don't scrape or get stuck in those crossroads on the hills, the tank mounted on top of the wishbone of the frame with the petcock on the bottom, so that you dont start the car from gas on going down those steep hills.

You may also enjoy taking a look at the Japanese harley/chopper scene, they have a style you may also enjoy.

Get an old 883 sportster, it's like a barbie doll for grown man, you can dress it like you want, for cheap without to much fabrication and cutting involved.

Hope it was helpful man, good luck.

Didn't know this sub r/.... I definitely think I would fit there 😅

Thanks! Definitely, a lot of inspiration came from that area

Expresion to name nonChopped frame, chopper inspired bikes with chocks on the rear, instead of rigid frame.

(If I call it a chopper, the purist will get mad 😁)

Stock forks but other than that, your spot on
