Happy to find this thread. I’ve been riding more fire roads here in CO on the HS than asphalt. Added the full R&G suite of protection bits and a beefy skid plate. Wish I could find folding rear brake lever and more aggressive foot pegs — a crash bar would be nice as well. I know the HS isn’t a true adv moto but it’s lighter than a MultiStfrada and I like the size. There are plenty of low miles 821s for sale around $7k and a hell of a lot more fun on a 60:40 ride than a similarly priced mountain bike! Practicing Social Distancing - and loving it!
I've fitted folding clutch/brake levers including rear brake lever, also fitted more aggressive foot pegs, which are on eccentrics to higher them an inch as I was scrapping them on the track, still scraping them although I do have a little more lean now.
