Was the auxiliary tank hard to install? I had trouble installing the same navigation tower and Rade Garage wasn't very helpful. The time zone difference and them not having a phone number made things more difficult. Hopefully the tank is pretty simple to install.

What range are you getting with the rade tank etc ? Also, thanks for sharing weight of each item. everybody brags about the 690 weight vs middleweight twins, but then add a million extras but don't track their new weight.

If you're riding casual close to 400km - if you're tearing it up, much less. Appreciate you watching bud.

Three observations: The crash bars protect what exactly? You are using the OEM exhaust. I had on all three 690s the experience of very hot surface temperatures. Especially with soft baggage, I used Giant Loop Coyote, the plastic side panel melted. With the aluminium canister from Remus, Sebring and Akrapovic (titan) this problem was solved. No comment on the seat? I had one high KaHeDo seat on my 2010 which was very comfortable and durable (+ 100 k km and counting) and an the 2016 one high Touratech seat (manufactured by KaHeDo, too) which smaller but still much better than OEM

Thanks for the observations. The crash bars are fairly self-explanatory. I've had them on every adventure bike and without question they've saved me the cost of replacing plastics many times. Awesome that you don't need them though. I must go down a lot more. I agree that the OEM exhaust is heavy and gets super-hot. But no issues with melting of the luggage thankfully. As far as the seat goes - again no issues. I did shave the seat down and now its wide enough for long hauls. Thanks for watching.

@@DustyBiker Really nicely thought out setup. Good job! For what it's worth, with that Rade setup, the straight through can of your choice and some Rottweiler tuning it picks up a good amount of low and mid power and part throttle response. Perhaps because of the extra power, I found my '23 Husky 701 actually feels and works better with taller 16/45 gearing (+1/-1 from stock). RPM drops from 5.1K to a comfortable 4.7K at 70 MPH, the bike has better "legs" gear to gear on the road. To my surprise it actually feels better off road, not stuck between 1st and 2nd gear so much, and allowing more control over hanging out the rear end in 2nd in turns. Tight clutch slipping bits are the same really, little impact there. I do kinda ride like a nut though, sometimes while on the big bike I forget I'm not on my 300 XC 😆

Hey Craig - thanks for taking the time to comment. I’ve been considering that gearing ratio for the last couple years. Maybe I’m just not quick enough - but sometimes I feel like 1st is too high and 2nd to low. Thanks for that suggestion.

Great overview of your setup! I just picked up a 701 and I'm getting it setup for next year. I love the aux tank setup into the vent hose, brilliant. Nice job with the packing. Clear and concise video, well done.

Interesting the way you connected the aux tank- are there any downsides to doing it this way? And is there like a forum page where people discuss this or where did you first learn about it? Many thanks!

Hey Johannes, thanks for watching. I've had no issues running it to the vent of the OEM tank. I really like it. ADV Rider forums have a lot of information about this set up. I made the choice to do it this way after watching some videos of 690 / 701 riders doing the same. Thanks again for watching.

How does the Rade Garage fairing handle the wind at speeds around 60-75mph? I’m looking into getting one and hoping it helps with wind so I can travel a little further.

The rally kit adds great wind protection and the front end feels planted with the extra weight. Certainly makes longer rides more enjoyable. Thanks for watching John.
