Hi Steve, thanks for you continued help.. I tried that link for an 650L but it was just some pictures. I'd have reservations on buying a bike with such high mileage though - I don't want to rebore the thing in deepest Africa. Would the Dominator really not handle some off road? In the mid 90's it was hailed as one of the best on and off road bikes around, why has this changed?
I've found a nice KTM explorer near me with welded pannier racks and aluminium boxes, but I'd have grave concerns taking one of these items to Africa. I've heard all sorts of horror stories on broken con rods, fuel pumps.. the list goes on.
Can you think of any non-Honda bike which are up to the job? I can't find a 650L for much less than 4k without mod's.
Cheers
Dan
