My current V twin. 2017 DL1000 which does rather well off road. previously had: KTM 990, Africa Twin XVR750 and a Varadero XL1000. The latter was one heavy beast

After my bog snorkling episode with my old 650 Dakar I now carry a couple of racket straps. Use them like a poor mans winch.
I'm no expert but happy to show you round a few BOATS and UCR

I still have the rear shock off my old 990. I swopped it for a newer s/h one before I sold the bike because the paint was flacking off the spring and the damping screw didn't do a lot. If it's any use make me an offer.
