go for it ! - but get a windshield

 

just did a 3000 km trip to gran caņon

not a problem with my 883, it can keep up

80 mph not a problem all day long

 

Well, I think I may add a windshield, Change my seat from a solo to a king/queen 2 up, add a sissybar to attach some more bags ect... , and take off.

 

I did a 9000 mile trip around the US, no windshield, no saddle bags, camping out the entire time, on a Triumph 750.
No heated grips, no radio, no gps, no cell phone, no electric start, no belt drive, no tubeless tires.

I thought it was easy and fun.
Spoiled I think we are these days...

Man, I'll tell you what. That sounds great!Thats what I have in mind. Just riding, camping at night, and taking my time. Do the south and the west in winter, Then the nort in the summer.

 

Here you go, 7000 miles on an 883 and with a tight budget.

That's awesome Brett .. Like I did years ago on my 1970 Sporty .. Got to admit though definitrly like having two things now that didn't have back then and that's Tubeless Tires and a Cell Phone ..

 

The pleasure on the trip is fleeting but the memories last forever.

Go for it, 883 more than up to it!!!

Great pic r0880, I'd love to get to Oz.

Brett001, that trip report is an inspiration!

 

I'm with Brett. To hell with a windshield, all that crap is unnecessary luxury, and IMHO, detracts from the adventure. My wife & I are out this weekend on a color tour. I on a Noghtster and she on an 883 Superlow. No windshield on either. Mine is bobbed a bit, & hers is bone stock. Wouldn't change a thing.

 

Brett, you left out, no reverse and no resemblance to a Peterbilt.
