Great little bike - good for the TET trails and tarmac runs too. Recommend fitting the carbon fibre sump and side protectors from Kodama Composites and some Barkbusters.

I have the Kriega OS-base setup and the 18l panniers on my CRF 250 Rally. Seem to fit well and usual Kriega quality, though not cheap. Will test them in anger in Sept on the French TET. I'd share a pic of if I could work out how....

Thanks for all the suggestions - looking forward to it! Hoping for some dry weather - perhaps a bit cooler than at the mo...
