    Impressive, and well done. We need to make some plans for 2023.

    Just trying to get some seat time. Been busy at work, and I still need to get my license updated. Darn 'rona makes it a PITA to get into the office.

    I didn't see any $500 lots, but there were some fairly cheap ones listed: https://poatri.org/land-terlingua-texas/ https://www.landwatch.com/default.aspx?ct=R&type=268%2C6843%3B5%2C75%3B6%2C996%3B361%2C110456&sort=PR_A

    If you don't want to buy a proper crimper, Bay Marine Supply will make up custom cables, and they'll use proper terminals and tooling. https://baymarinesupply.com/wiring/custom-battery-cables.html Another known-good source...

    That sounds like a great deal.

    Sorry about that. I'll update my parts list with the correct number you found. I'm sticking with the OEM exhaust for awhile longer. Otoh, I'm leaning toward a Vortex purchase. I really don't like the snatchy throttle, to the point that I think it is a bit of a safety issue. Running a Vortex...

    I'm impressed by the Klim Baja mesh jacket. This is the first I've had a chance to ride with it, and I found it very comfortable. Of course, this is also the first mesh jacket I've ever worn, so there's that. I'm letting the bike cool off before raising the shift lever a bit. I've been meaning...

    Congratulations, and best of luck on that front.

    2019 Honda CRF 450L

    Nice find, especially with the assorted parts. After the rehab, what do plan to do with it? I'd at least have a PDR shop take a look. That paint is too good to mess up, if it can be avoided. If they try and fail, it'll be no worse off.

    Lifting the bike isn't a struggle, but it's a little fiddly getting it positioned on the lift to where it's centered on the platform and on the peg anchors. Even with the lift's two wheels locked, the steel wheels slide on smooth concrete. I'll get better with time, but it's not so bad now...

    I finally installed a bunch of little things, and made use of a Tusk lift to make it easier to tuck my bike into a tight spot in the garage. The lift is pretty darn handy, and made well enough that I think it really can support 300 lbs well enough not to kill me. I'll eventually find a way to...

    I was thinking more of a short panel at the front to deflect crap off the bikes and whatever cargo you have up front. I've been happy with structural foam cargo boxes on trailers. This one is very solid, weatherproof, and reasonably priced. If you skinned the top with metal, it'd make a good...

    Where can I buy Panasonic HIT N250 Slim solar panels here in the U.S.?

    None of the good stuff is cheap relative to the ALNEW GENNEUINE VECTRON POWRPLUS!! grade controllers found elsewhere. Of course, when a cheap controller over-charges a 600Ah LFP bank, any minimal savings up front is meaningless. I think it's great when someone puts the effort into learning...

    Hard to beat that bargain. Any plans for a small fairing on the front, or a toolbox with fuel can rack? I've been using Corroseal for a rust converter/primer. It would work well for future touch-ups.

    Where can I buy Panasonic HIT N250 Slim solar panels here in the U.S.?

    Have you priced 2000W of HIT panels or 400Ah of good LFP batteries? John has already mentioned it, but approaching this as a system is the smart way to do it, and the system is only as reliable as its weakest components. Considering what you're undertaking, spending a little more up front has...

    Where can I buy Panasonic HIT N250 Slim solar panels here in the U.S.?

    https://www.solar-electric.com/ They carry a good selection of high efficiency panels, along some of the other components you'll need. If you arrange for local pickup, you can take in the views just north of Flagstaff, too.
