My brand new trail bike: f800GS-E

[Sportfaller]

well, maybe someday.....

but so far, I've ordered crash bars, skidplate, hand guards, seat, fairing (britannia composites, really badass, special ordered in white) http://www.britanniacomposites.com/mirage2.html


next decision: Bags.  I've narrowed it down to either Giant loop or wolfman expedition.  What are your opinions?

wolfman makes nice stuff but i really dig the loop gear for a large rear bag.

Congrats!  Sounds like your trying to make it into a GS!!

That bike really looks tough!

That is pretty cool!  I watched a world champ stunter clip on youtube today and he was riding a trick 800 too. 

So where are the pics of the new-to-the-Yeti GS?

I only got to ride for about 2 hours on Saturday...did about 45 mins off-road...new bike, must adapt!   NEEDS KNOBBIES!!!!

Thinking about Moab now....but which bike to take???

Take the GS and ride out with us. We arent planning on anythinng that you would be worreid about on the big bike. Plus, Moab would be a great first big trip on you new (to you) bike.

SWEET!! 

[The Yeti]

Awww.....what a cute little baby!     VERY NICE!

Now, get started making it look like the pic in your original post.   

Does that thing have an electric adjustable windscreen?  WTF? You'd think the 1200 would get one before the 800.

that is the britannia composties fairing.  make em for klr650's too.  pretty sweet product.  i want to see you try to break it sportfaller before i drop the coin for one. 

my bike likes to take the occasional nap on the rocks. 

sweet bike though.  looks like that skid plate covers the delicate areas pretty well too.

[loingrader]

i was hoping you wouldn't try to break that fairing so soon!

how did it fare in the get off?

[Sportfaller]

only the outside portion and the windshield were damaged, they are replacing the outside for $100, and I had already ordered and paid for a tinted screen. not too shabby in all.
