Good call. I need to pick up one of those mini 12v compressors myself.If you haven't done so already. pack a tire repair kit with a mini compressor....
No GPS, but another rider I am going with has one.Are you using a GPS? What windshield do you have and do you like it?
I have the stop 'n go compressor and plug kit so all good there.If you haven't done so already. pack a tire repair kit with a mini compressor....
thanks rconti, that is good to know.UAF dorms. $39/nt single. Google UAF conference services, call em up, say you're on a moto and they'll hook you up with the good rate.
From what I am reading guys are getting great mileage of the K60s so wasn't really thinking about it. Might call Adventure Cycle in Fairbanks and see if they have a set just in case.If those tires wear out, what are your replacement plans?
For a "normal" Alaska trip you don't need the gas can. GPS is pretty pointless too, there's so few roads it's next to impossible to get lost. If you're going way off the beaten track though...Like many I too am off to Alaska in a few days. I have 3 weeks off of work and the bike is finally done.

Still have to finalize what I am actually taking and how I am packing it, but that is how she will look.
Farkles (not necessarily for the trip):
forkbrace (Richland Rick)
mirror extenders (Richland Rick)
madstad
crashbars (sw motech)
center stand (sw motech)
kaoko throttle lock
oem hand guards
givi racks with pelican 1550s (caribou quick release adapters)
34L top case (caribou)
city tank bag (bags connection)
2 gallon Rotopax
Heidenau K60s front and back
30L dry bag
PC8 fuse block (eastern beaver)
H4 Dual Headlight Relay Kit with One Headlight Cut Adapter (eastern beaver)
power to the box with custom wiring (eastern beaver)
Narcosis junky skid plate
Hyperlites 3 way tail/brake/turn signals
Probably missing some stuff, but that is the major stuff. Have a small power converter in the top box to keep the netbook charge when on the road.
I will attempt to do a RR, but no promises.
Sweet rconti!! Did you go solo?I'm in Fairbanks now. UAF dorms. $39/nt single. Google UAF conference services, call em up, say you're on a moto and they'll hook you up with the good rate.
Having the time of my life. You'll love it. I burned up a set of anakees in 3k miles, swapped to k60s in Fairbanks. Adventure cycle works in Fairbanks
Can do anything you need done to a bike. Open 24x7 in the summer.
Enjoy!

Got it. Thanks Zukigirl.Here's a link to rconti's Alaska blog...some great pics and info!
Alaska 2011 - Bay Area to Prudhoe Bay, AK
wish I could do alaska in 3 weeks, its a 15k trip for me, I'm figuring 8-10 weeks :headbang: I won't be able to take that much time off this year
I'm actually starting to think about a set of those, even though they run counter to my general thinking.You certainly would appreciate some highway bars so you can occasionally change your leg position .
