Wolfman Wolf Bottle Holster Wolfman designed the Wolf Bottle Holster around the popular Primus and MSR 1 liter bottles. The Bottle Holster can attach to the seat, rack or to Wolfman's Expedition Dry Saddlebags or Teton Saddlebags. (Actually, up to 4 can be attached to the new Saddlebags). This is an easy and convenient method to carry extra liquids. Features Constructed from heavy duty Ballistic Nylon 4 point Mounting, with a top strap that secures the bottle 9 long Note Wolfman recommends a 1 liter/10 circumference bottle or smaller to fit in the holster, botles sold separately.

Fit and finish is good. Quality of construction is very good. Things don't line up exactly in the middle but I don't think it would affect its ability to hold your fuel bottle securely.
Installed with the hard pannier mount kit.
Carries a camp fuel 1L bottle very well.

MachineartMoto Avant Front Fender Extender for BMW F800 and 650 GS Fits F800/650GS twins - all years The MudSling-AVANT is a patent pending front fender extension that adds 5.75 of length to protect the front of the bike from mud, water, tar, and rocks splashback. The AVANT is unique in that it mounts without the need to drill holes in the fender, unlike other fender extensions. Not only is it simple to install with the included three grip clamps and black coated screws, it looks beautiul and integrates with the stock fender and is transferable to another bike without leaving disfiguring holes behind. Injection molded in resilient polypropylene, it is shaped with characteristic flared wings that widen the splash coverage area without looking wide. The surface finish beautifully matches the stock BMW fender.

Simple, and does its job.

I couldn't tell you why BMW produced such a small front fender (and no rear mud guard). It does little to prevent the spray from the front tire and sending dirt, mud, rocks, and water all over the front of your bike, up in the radiator, oil filter, etc.
This small, easy to install, well-finished bit does the trick as it was designed to do. It requires no drilling (a plus compared to other fender extenders) and takes all of 10 minutes.
Stays put, and seems quite durable. Finish matches OEM and lines/contours all match.
Highly recommend for any F800GS owners who venture offroad/ride in the rain.

I bought these boots for the express purpose of adv riding. I I wanted something with a good amount of protection, comfort and waterproof was a must! These boots fit the bill and I opted for the more expensive Goretex version because of some conflicting accounts on waterproofness of the less expensive Adv rains. The clincher though, besides the higher likelihood of waterproofness with the Goretex, is the fact that this version is made of leather - not fake leather.
Boots are comfortable. I wear size 9 to 9.5 in almost every shoe and bought the 43 and it fits great. I wear 43 boot for my Gaerne SG10 and have a pair of Alpinestars tech 8's in 42 that are too small for your reference.
These boots have a good amount of protection, but are not as protective as full MX boots. If I plan on significant offroad riding, I will probably wear my SG10s. They are also not nearly as stiff as full MX boots. I suspect full days of standing on the pegs might get fatiguing.
They are however, a lot more comfortable for walking around in, and require little to no break in time. The hinged ankle and supple leather certainly help in that regard.
Reviewers complaining of bulk, lack of feel for the controls, or stiffness most likely have never ridden a motorcycle with dirt boots. They really are not that bulky at all, have tons of feel, and are pretty flexible underfoot.

These gloves are pretty great. They are warm, dry and very comfortable.
People who complain about them being bulky are being silly. As far as I am aware, most cold-weather winter season riding gloves are going to be bulky. I'm not sure there is any way around that.
One more note. They definitely run small. I typically wear medium gloves in everything from ski to mtb to mx to gardening. These I bought in large because I trusted the size chart. The size chart is accurate.

Apparently there aren't a lot of good options out there for a nice durable, well-made goretex sock.
This one incorporates a goretex bootie and a thin wicking sock is included.
100 bucks to convert your boots into waterproof ones seems like a reasonable deal.
Tight-fitting boots will likely be unable to accomodate the added bulk.

AltRider BMW F800GS Crash Bars Rough terrain can get the better of anyone, which is why we designed the AltRider Crash Bars for the BMW F 800 GS. Made from one inch stainless steel, it is sure to protect your engine in a fall. These crash bars provide extensive coverage for the F 800 GS, guarding not only the engine itself but also the radiator and front plastics. The bars are built with precision-manufactured mounts that fit directly into the existing motor mount, creating a robust connection that is secured with existing OEM fasteners on the top engine mounts. Torx fasteners are provided for the bottom mounts. Unlike other crash bars, these do not use flanges or weak tabs and are not hung they are actually mounted. Crafted with hand TIG welding, these black powder-coated stainless bars will hold up in spills and never even show signs of rust. Protect your clutch cover, radiator, and front fairings with the system that doesnt deflect or bend. Stainless T-304 construction Hand TIG welding 1 inch diameter tubing for strength Comes with the Torx fasteners needed for the bottom mounts Includes Loctite Height 13 inches Width 20 inches Depth 13 inches Weight 10 lbs

Great set of bars, installs up pretty easily but does take some encouraging. Just remember to keep all your fasteners nice and loose until everything is connected -then tighten everything up. Coverage is excellent and the bars are burly. The stainless steel for tubing choice is nice so that dings and gouges to the powdercoat won't leave you with rusted spots.
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM though! Like a previous review, my first set were totally off, by about 2.5 cm on both sides. I phoned the company and the guy asked if I could "make them fit" even after I reminded him of the fact they're steel and they were off over an inch. Then he said, "sorry yea they're handmade so sometimes they're off - maybe 1 out of 100."
Seems like a lot of messed up product getting to customers for being one of the most, if not the most, expensive crash bars on the market...pretty annoying.
Thanks to Revzilla because they sent me a new set immediately and gave me a label for returning the defective set.
Bottom line, they're nice, protect well, good material and mount up great. But only if you don't get a bum set first.
Yes, I recommend this product.

AltRider Bmw F800GS Rear Brake Reservoir Guard When you tap your rear brake, you want to know itll be there. Install the AltRider Rear Brake Reservoir Guard for the BMW F 800 GS to protect the life-blood of your rear braking system. Made from 2 mm anodized aluminum, it installs using OEM hardware and offers full coverage to the reservoir. It includes an upper flange that protects the reservoir from damage and tampering. An AltRider logo cutout allows you to check fluid levels, while a recessed cutout for the fastener keeps the design clean. Additionally, this is the only rear brake reservoir guard to incorporate an installation tab in the back that keeps the guard and reservoir from twisting after installation. Note Not compatible with 2013 models.

I don't know if this thing is all that necessary, but it at least cleans up the look of the rear MC.
This particular unit does make the whole MC more secure in that it stops the thing from being able to swivel around.
It works.

Klim gear is perfect for me. Thoughtful design, rugged materials, and subdued graphics sans loud crazy extreme motocross styling.
These pants are no exception. They fit over my full size mx boots without much fuss, and the Cordura construction up to the knee even on the inside is a smart design. Pockets for armor (not included), gore tex materials, rugged construction, plenty of ventilation, waterproof zippers make these high end pants worth every penny and a great deal at $300.

Klim gear is perfect for me. Thoughtful design, rugged materials, and subdued graphics sans loud crazy extreme motocross styling.
The jacket is all heavy duty construction built to take a beating. Waterproof zippers, storm flaps, goretex, plenty of ventilation and pockets for armor (not included) are noteworthy features.
It isn't cheap at $300, but its features and materials make this jacket worth every penny.
I am 5'8", 150 lbs and medium athletic build. Medium fits perfect.

Should you use Locktite?
I didn't see any mention of using locktite...would it be advisable to use some blue on any of the bolts?
I didn't see any mention of using locktite either.
Probably wouldn't hurt though.

Sidi Adventure Rain vs Adventure Gote-Tex - What's the difference?
More importantly, what justifies the $250 difference in price?
Guaranteed waterproof, full-grain leather construction.
I think otherwise it's the same boot.
Now, since the boot is only $100 more than the ADV rain, it really makes it easier to swallow. For me, the extra $100 was worth it. I think any serious adv riding involving streams, rain, long distances, etc. would benefit greatly from the added waterproofness.
