Pola, I love what you have done with your bike. A really big :2tup: to you.
The bags will carry a lot and you can bungee a lot more across the pillion seat and tops of the bags. You can also use the top stuff as a backrest.

Alantf, this is how it is on the right side, so it won't get burned. :2tup:

Thanks for your words Water Warrior, the sissy bags are made of fibre covered with synthetic leather, that make them washable.

Guys... I'm working on the list , I'll post as soon as I finish...there are so many things and i don't want to forget something.

Thank you so much, kind regards

Re: Want to travel the Carretera Austral in Chile

Hi there. I had a cousin of this bike in China, a QS150. It was great on gravel roads except that
a. you don't haven enough suspension to absorb really big bumps. Slow down when you see them.
b. the stock tires will not give enough traction. get better ones.
c. the stock headlight doesn't give enough light for riding at night in the wilderness. you may have to upgrade.
