| Touratech Enduro Tank bag |
Used purely as a camera bag for easy access. |
Same again. |
Still in use. |
| Bash plate with two tool boxes |
Very strong, keeps all the weight low down.
A pain to replace after services. |
Same again. Protects the gear and brake levers
on falls. I carried a spare gear lever four eight months. I dropped
the bike outside my flat in London when I'd taken the bashplate off.
It bent the gear lever.  |
Still in use. |
| Tyre lever tube mounted onto bash
plate |
Tyre levers, spare spokes, 'T' allen bar for
the rocker covers. |
Same again. |
Still in use. |
