Now that is a proper ride on proper roads and on a proper bike that's made for them
Very spectacular

You know your way around the tool room and you know your way around the continent. My hat is off to you!

I am absolutely dripping with envy! I have done little bits of that tour by bicycle last time 7 years ago. I don't think I could do it again. Maybe next time by motorcycle.

Impressive and nice pix. Are those your winter tires? What type/size. Front looks tall. Interested to hear what gearbox sprocket you use for such a long trip. Looks like the stock rear drum but do i see a rear master cyl or is that a chain oiler?? I find the 19T to be great on big mountain roads.

Belt or chain primary drive?

.. Are those your winter tires? What type/size. . what gearbox sprocket you use for such a long trip.

Front is Heidenau K34 with a more pronounced profile, because I also do unpaved roads.
Rear: BT 46

Looks like the stock rear drum but do i see a rear master cyl ..

Std drum, but full floating hydraulic operated. Brake shoes are from an Austin Mini.

Belt or chain primary drive?

Belt drive (of course..) 34/70 primary. 20/42 rear.

Maney belt drive ?

Is that an NHK steering damper? I have one of those on the shelf and never thought about putting on the N15. Hmm, playing 20 Q's here. Anyway nice pics, so cool.

 

[Schwany]

OK gotta ask
What's the round bar stock running across the frame below the headstock? Is it your chopper footrests, or fairing protectors for your invisible fairing, or?

 

[Elfix]

I see your belt drive fits without spacing out the primary cover- who’s kit is that? My G-15 wants to know!
