I made a short run to Greensburg, Kansas today on my new (to me) 2001 SV650. The trip was only 166 miles round-trip, but it was a good run to check my rig and figure out what I'd like to improve on. It was my first bike trip over 30 miles in about 16 years!
I definitely want to get a tank bag, probably magnetic. I'd like to be able to keep an eye on my phone while I'm moving.
The rubbermaid box held my gear just fine, but I'll need to add saddle bags to it for longer trips.
I'm also planning to install a taller windshield. Fatigue was starting in my neck about the last 30 minutes of the ride (I know, I know... lightweight).
Here's my bike and a shot from the middle of Main Street looking south. You might recall that Greensburg was wiped out by an tornado. It's coming back to life, slowly but surely.
