I've had to shorten the trip due to work commitments, and as I work 2,000 miles from home and get to play with my Uly every 4 weeks I'm getting it ready for December when we're off into Asia for 6 weeks....wooohooo!!! As pictured it has 50w driving lights added (the whole lot come on with high beam), race kit, 2" lowered custom seat, Scorpions, CeeBailey 16", side cases, soft case on rear (there's a bracket being fabricated to lift it off the tail light) and the bag on the airbox holds 30 lb of rock climbing gear! Only have to add my Girlfriend and I when we get to Kuala Lumpur December 6th! (did I say woohoo?)   | ||

PS, I've now done a couple of full days riding with the CeeBailey 16" and am very happy with the result, I have a problem with my neck and the screen seems to take the pressure off my helmet. Three side effects have been that it's now a lot quieter and warmer behind the screen (wear less clothes and our intercom is easier to hear) and there's less pressure on my chest so my arms are now having to support my body weight rather then wind pressure!  ) The screen shakes a bit at idle but seems ok at legal road speeds. I won't be setting any speed records through the countries we will be travelling through, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, cambodia or Vietnam so all should be well. | ||

The shipping details for the Uly are still being sorted, though it looks like Sydney to Port Kelang Malaysia, thanks heaps to Harley Heaven in Melbourne, not only for the great service they gave the Uly but have also offered to provide a shipping crate for the trip to KL!
