Are you sure the 2011 Front Sprocket will work on your GS without some type of Clutch modification? I thought Seth said they would not install the 2011 Sprocket on his Spyder, and was told by my dealer it was a bigger change than just the sprocket. :dontknow:

I forgot one thing...space blanket. I always carry these. Emergency shelter, warmth, umbrella, tarp, or a place to lay out your tools. They fold up small and weigh next to nothing.

"As a key component of the Guts & Glory Rally Across America, Emmy Award winning Sunrise Entertainment will be filming a reality television series throughout the course of the rally. This television series will chronicle the joys, struggles, challenges and most importantly, the personal stories of many of the participants. Filmed in High Definition using cameras mounted on motorcycles, chase vehicles, helicopters and even an ultra-light aircraft, viewers will not only feel as though they are a part of the rally, they will also see the amazing scenery and vistas of this great country as seen through the eyes of each rider. Fast moving and engaging, the programs foundation is the overwhelmingly compelling personal stories of victory and defeat, joy and hardship, camaraderie and competition." http://www.pushnpavement.com/2011/02/03/guts-and-glory-ride-across-america/

This is going to be a big year for endurance riding with the G&G (late May) and the Iron Butt (late June) being run in the same year. :D
Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ June 2011 and Iron Butt Rally™ July 2011 are not allowing Spyders to participate (did try, I was rejected); G&G is the only large rally where Spyders can compete with other motorcycle manufacturers nojoke.
