Seat Concepts & Wolfman Day Tripper work well
Seat is personal preference. \nBags: Wolfman, Giant Loop, Moose, Kriega, etc etc\nPersonally I like the stock seat.
Cool! Thanks guys. Gonna be riding death valley and other desert spots in October. Gotta start gathering stuff
The seat Jeffrey Tucker or Nathan Jenkins has are wonderful.
Seat concepts are great!
What model seat? I noticed there was some choices
Enduro Engineering.
What about tanks? Looks like the 4.1 still uses the stock radiator fairings?
Acerbis 5.1, bike has been crashed at high speed many times and radiators are fully protected
Sweet ride! Ya the desert has few gas stops…i should upgrade
Thanks. Once you pipe and remap the gas mileage goes to shit. 100% worth it though! Ha
That led headlight work bitchin?
Yes sir. Stock one sucks
I’m running a JD tuner with my pipe…it’s pretty quick lol
My 500 with Moose fender tool bag, Giant Loop tank bag, and KTM rear fender bag
Very nice! Now that’s a headlight!
It’s exceedingly bright :)\nhttps://youtu.be/0nTPZhheFiQ
Bill Malec that’s super bright. Is it adjustable for more of a spread?
Dang! That’s awesome! Electrical upgrades? Charging system?
Ha-ha passed that guy up!
It’s not as narrow as it appears in video. It lights up more than you see. Stock 500 stator handles it just fine.
Going down a road:
That’s a wide beam

How much do they get in the way when standing and leaning back?
I had an EE standard seat foam – not soft, not firm, not short, not tall – which was \
I have a Sergeant seat on my V-Strom, but don’t think they make a seat for your bike. The Seat Concepts looks like the way to go if you’re going to do a lot of long rides sitting down. AirHawk makes an air cushion in a dual sport model. It’s narrow enough to not interfere with standing.
