EPIC trip planning

[Chitza]

I picked up a 35L Givi top box from Shepcam last fall and finally got around to installing it.

The OEM tail rack was not compatible so I removed it and fabricated one out of a scrap piece of wood. Sanded very smooth and two coats of Kilz primer, four coats of black enamel and I'm not worried about weather damage. I mean, it was free and there's more where that came from.




I drilled holes to match the stock tail mount. Bolts, locking washers and wing nuts for easy enough removal. 5mins Max to return to stock and I have watertight storage.



I don't plan to have much weight in it so I'm not concerned, though I couldn't budge it with all my weight.

A few years ago I found the luxury of compression socks. These are used by folks traveling on planes for 8 hours plus. The keep the circulation up and keep the blood from pooling at your feet. There are several brands. I have worn out 3 pair in 3 years. They are great when street riding for several hours. Here is a link to some on Amazon. Or just google travel compression socks. https://www.amazon.com/Travelsox-TSS6000-Graduated-Compression-Performance/dp/B0077JWV6I
