No worries, I had stated specifics in a previous post and was trying to avoid

You missed my point. I'm not arguing the desire to hold more fuel, I'm arguing this application. There is a safe way to do it and there is this way.

I'd give him a break if his actions would not or could not have implications on other people. But he is risking the lives of others. Sorry, no breaks for him. This is 100% reckless.

Came in here ready to see a list of goodies and instead got a dose of perspective. Wishing ya'll a speedy recovery.

It depends. Over the last couple of months (been rather slow winter for me) I would have loved more projects like this. Simple enough a tard like myself could make something fairly decent. The other reason to do it myself is to make it exactly how I want. If I were to have a plate like this...

damn all that work for nothin' ;-) Just kidding. That's a great piece although I was hopeful to see your finished product when I opened the thread.

Glad to help and hope it is enough to get you what you need.

Here are the measurements Let me know if you have any questions. You'll notice I took some measurements to the side cases for max width of plate dimensions and to the seat as well.

Ahhhhh ok. I'd be happy to still do it, but now that I understand what you want.... I can't do it tonight. I'll attempt it tomorrow because I think I will have to remove the plate to get most accurate measurements.

I have heard great things about Mosko but damn they are expensive.

I can take the measurements for you after work today, but to better understand the measurements, what are you trying to accomplish? What are you building? EDIT: I just saw your other post, if I'm understanding it correctly, I don't see why you need measurements. Just mount up the FZ1111 and...

I considered doing exactly that but thought it wouldn't look right. However, that set up looks good, but largely because it's hidden by the back rest. Did you make that yourself? I also considered the pillion plate that fella makes, but because of how far back I sit my tail bone would be up...

I had Wolfman Dry bag panniers on my KLR. I LOVED them! I wanted to use them on the NC, but the fact that you have to disconnect and undo part of the strap that goes over the pillion to re-fuel, made it a 100% deal breaker for me. As far as durability, I went down multiple times while fully...

I see what you did there. :D

As someone who tries to be as self-sustaining as I can be, I can relate. However, my buddy (whom, I'm almost always riding with) and I work together so we are not both carrying the same crap. No need for both of us to bring chain lube or a tire repair kit or ...... whatever. I like his spoons...

If you're just doing a short stint on some gravel/hard packed dirt, dropping tire pressure 5-7lbs will get you better traction. However, be careful as you increase the risk of damaging the wheel.

Just for clarity, I'm not saying "it" can't. I'm saying I wouldn't. I'm saying there are better choices for a safer, more enjoyable and ride across some the most challenging "roads" in the country. I'm in the camp of, just because it can, doesn't mean you should. Running the TAT is in my...

Ground clearance is actually the same for both bikes and... both suck.

I've used Spot for multiple day rides. I use my GPS tracks from my Garmin for keeping records of my routes. I only use Spot for, "I need help right now, here is where I am and how I got here." and to be able to send "OK" messages through out the day so when Im out of cell coverage, loved ones...

Bigger front wheel and more suspension travel. Ride a strom then ride a NC, those make for a rather noticeable difference.
