asking bike mod questions
End of February and I'll soon be getting a new bike - to go around the planet on. Not being a mechanic, I have a lot of questions about bike mods, electrical upgrades, suspension upgrades etc...
Is there a specific place that these kind of questions can be asked? Should I be looking for a motorcycle mechanic to pay and help plan? I am good with tools and have rebuilt motors - but its been a while. Is there a discussion forum for just this kind of things?
I guess what I'm asking is how best to approach this. I will tell you that the technology I will be travelling with will be extensive and I have been in contact with a University makespace to help with some of these mods.
I will in actuality, be living on this motorcycle for numerous years. Reliability, comfort, security, parts supply, and ability to work on by myself are all critical. No matter what - I plan to hire a mechanic to show and teach me as much as I can learn about my bike before I hit the road. Tire, chain, electrical repairs and more.
Any feedback at all most appreciated.
