Outfitting for Maiden Voyage - InterState Rocket

[BravoKiloRomeo]

My break in routine on all new bikes is a big run after I shake down the initial bugs for a thousand or so. Rocket is scheduled for liftoff end of February (weather no factor if I make Charlotte, usually). Setting up for two weekers on non-touring bikes requires some hill-jack engineering. Check out the 700 liter SW Motech bag! Multilates that handsome brute, but travel is about utility. Madstad on the way, and working on the ghetto graphite cerakote on more stuff. Glad those elf ears aka heel guards faded in darkness! My Key West run is usually on a GS set for camping - this is going to hit different! I will strip off the vinyl wrap and tour crap when I return, and this baby is the strong man attraction at the local circus side shows!

Looks like you have enough room in the bag to carry a Lazy-Boy.....

That bag might either turn out to be a great back rest or dig into your lower back and annoy you the entire time. I did something similar but on an 1199 and because of the angle it drove me crazy for 3000kms. Have a great trip !

Dang that’s a big bag. Welcome to the forum.

Hopefully all my camping gear fits, but yeah, it's obnoxious. Rocket is still going to fly!

I wish. She retired from riding before we married. One long ride to Gatlinburg on Springer Softail and she was done. Married anyway. Best decision of my life!

Cerakoted the header covers and exhaust covers to reduce the rainbow of Rocket metal shades. Comp Werkes exhaust returned from baffle screw repair.
