africa 2011 : about the trip |
Sunday, 11 September 2011 |
Since i bought my africa twin in 2008, i ve changed a few things on it, and add some equipments on it, to improve its travel abilities : - replacement of the original electrical fuel pump by a mechanical one - replacement of the original fuel tank by a 42L plastic tank - aluminium travel cases with their supports
To prepare this new trip, i tried some new equipments : - addition of a 2nd radiator fan - replacement of the original meter - special home-made saddle and fuel tank covers - new fork springs
plus the renewal of some 'consumables' : various bearings, and seals, clutch, brakes, tires, rear shock absorber, saddle...
I will details all these, and some other things I don t mention here, later on. |
