Optimizing space was a big goal for us when curating the 2023 Ultimate Overland Motorcycle Build🏍️
We turned to @moskomoto and their decades of experience to outfit the bike with high quality luggage with premium materials.
To help protect the bike and secure our gear, partnering with @outback_motortek was the obvious solution. They hooked the build up with a full set of crash bars, skid plate, rear luggage rack, and pannier racks.🔥
Finally, our bike is equipped with the @rammounts Quick-Grip XL Phone Mount with Handlebar U-Bolt Base. This allows the rider to easily insert and remove their phone with one hand!
