Hi all, my names Dave, I'm UK based and I've just got my new road legal DS650 X,
I've been reading this forum quite a bit and I know there is a wealth of knowledge on here, which I hope to be calling on in the following few months as I prep my Bomb for a 4000 mile trek across the U.K , France, Switzerland (ALPS), Italy, and down the coast through monacco and finally onto the southern tip of Spain and back to the UK.
I'm hoping to set off in May next year and have put aside 3 weeks for the trip.
I, will be looking for top speed and reliability mods as well as longer range fuel tanks etc to cut down on stops and some unique storage ideas I think will be needed.
I just thought I would say hello and tell you my plans and if anybody is interested i will post up some pics as I carry out my mods.
Also any tips that you guys think I may need that I am yet unaware of would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Dave.

 

Wow!!!! Thank sounds great, I would really like to see the pics from that trip.. The longest trip I have taken was 1 week in Colorado, Silvteron to be exact. Our mods consisted of racks to hold extra 1 gallon gas cans, and small ice chest for food. Good luck with the adventure. How many people going with ya?

 

i think you should get one of those ims tanks that holds like 5 gallons of gas and a six pack rack, beer and gas what more do you need welcome to the forums.

 

You might consider putting on a twist throttle, it will be easier on your hand/wrist. Rockymountain atv sells em for about $35. Me and the wife both ride with a twist throttle.

 

Yea I would go with an ims 5 gallon gas tank, a rack, and get a different battery like sunn battery I have heard there is nothing better since mine just died I am getting a sunn battery, tools, and just make sure everything is maintained and you should be set to go on your way...welcome to the forums and I would also like to see those pics

 

I sure wish we could have street legal quads over here in the states. maybe someday.

 

Yea I wish those would be the days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and there would be alot less cars on the roads I would think
