Getting Gear Together

I've been working the past week to get some of my mechanical ducks in a row.

I needed a luggage rack and absolutely, positively have to replace the handlebars. The stock handlebar is too far forward and causes a severe shoulder pain on long trips. I've ordered the Wild1 10" Ape Hanger and it will be here this week. I will get it installed the following week. They will look something like this.


I also ordered new heated grips, though I won't use them much in Texas, on my trip in November they will be needed. I found some used cruise pegs on eBay, trying to save a few bucks on my gear expense.

I am shopping for a good budget priced rain suit this week. That will be my next purchase.
