Great feedback - thanks.

Love the idea of the Power Bank. Already considered that, but keep reading.

I will be carrying a spare gas tank, but what about building a custom tank, like the new KTMs have, where the tank drapes over the sides of the bike, so the weight of the gas is lower on the bike? That's what I will be looking at.

Lots to learn about carbon fiber. I am attracted to it due to weight, but I have an open mind and am certainly looking at alternatives.

HUD - I have been looking at smart helmets - most of them are not - at this time, I am considering smart glasses - they can be worn in the helmet, so mostly hidden. Applications I will be working on are as follows:
Speedometer
GPS
Tire Pressure
Bike temp
outside temp
weather
music playback/radio/news
Gopro control
drone control
Desktop computer - use HUD as the interface to the computer when off the bike - so no laptop but a custom built mini-PC with the HUD acting as the monitor. This will be for video editing, music production, internet, etc.
Other as yet to be discovered applications

I am turning my bike into a musical instrument by placing midi triggers in areas that make sense, footpegs, where knees meet the bike, and on grips. This is to write while riding....when safe to do so. The interface for this will be complicated to achieve and may be too much. But I am exploring it.

I plan to camp a lot. Trying to figure out a way to keep a charge going while stopped so I can do things like video editing, music production etc... Depending on where I am, the plan would be to hit a hotel/hostel/couch surf every 5th day or so - for internet access for upload, and to sleep in a bed...get clean...Here is one solution I have found....

I have done some really long rides. Here's the scenario - been 10 hours on the bike. Cramping up due to limited movement. Dreaming of being able to lie on my tank, have the handlebars fold down - almost into cafe style, and the footpegs move backwards - relief, a new and out of the wind position.

Having a bigger tank does not mean I will not stop every few hours anyway. It simply means that I don't have to gas up as often. On the first leg of my journey, I am already looking at a stretch of 725 KM with NO GAS. So I will be taking on an extra tank for this loop. Only in Canada could you find such a stretch of road. Its seriously isolated.

But again I will state clearly - open mind. Willing to change plans. Willing to listen to ideas. Only thing that will not change is the fact of the trip itself.

I have found a local mechanic who runs a DIY bike shop. Meeting him tomorrow to start developing a relationship. He is going to teach me how to properly maintain/ repair/ and mod this 2 wheeled home.
