Committed

Now the Smyril Line ticket is paid, so the commitment for the trip is high. The build gets busy now.

The bike attachment is done. There is a slot for the front tire and metal design to hold bike from the footrests. The bike should stay foot even if there will be a roll over. Some space for stuff is at the right side of the bike. Maybe a small generator, boxes etc.



The laptop+gps run ok now. I changed a shorter RAM-C bar and rubber cushions are now on top of the RAM. Laptop moves a bit when riding over bumps, but the movement is not too big. Gopro works fine as dashcam, I had to add a rubber-lock or whatever in the bracket because it was generating some ticking noise because of the small slack in brackets.

Here is a video from testride with the bike on the bed. There was some spring flooding in the forest tracks. Photos at the end of the video were spotted during this single ride.

Mog testride

I decided to change the rebuilt engine in KTM and had some surprises while doing that. Rubber boots for the carburator were a bit broken in both sides. Fortunately I had spares still left from the spare bike. New chain and sprockets and KTM should be ready to go.
