Preparing the KLR before my Latin America trip

My departure date for my 8 month Latin America trip has been delayed a couple of days. I have some modifications that need to be made before I leave, and I do an overview of what modifications I have already made.

[AtlasRider]

@solimiansky Funding is from my own savings, and I quit my job to make time.

That seat looks so uncomfortable for this long trip you're planning.

[AtlasRider]

@pch0mey It's comfy for me. Was fine for a 5,000 trip I took last year.

chances are you will have a safe trip with no problems,but just in case you make the wrong turn,a really good GPS,no cheapo's.

I like the way those Pelican cases look . The way you mounted them was ingenious using the wires to hold the cases was smart. I have some 50mm ammo cans mounted on my DR with a frame that I welded myself, it works fairly well, but I like your setup much better. Less bulky and better aesthetics.

Nice job and good planning. If you ever get back into WV give me a shout and we'll go trail riding.

looks very uncomfortable and way over packed...I just dont think I would enjoy taking that piece of crap, overloaded, unstable two wheeler to the grocery store....let alone 6 months through the Americas

i'm in south america what is your route? also you might wan to consider to put a padlock in your cases cause there is no way peolple won't steal your stuff if you don't have any locks

[rodeliinc]

Wish you luck and keep us posted!!

Have fun, Atlas. I can't wait to see the vids from the trip. Apologies if you addressed this in another vid or comment, but do you speak any Spanish?

Hey, good luck on your trip. Don't worry about setting a date too much. I ended up leaving 6 months after my original date. Looks like you have everything in order. Have fun and stay safe!

If you need any info on Mexico feel free to ask, I returned recently from mainland Mexico. Also, stay out of Mexico City. Long story but police are stopping non-Mexican's. They got Scott Brady, a few others and myself. $5000 pesos fine...no bueno.
