Here's a touring experience among the riders, who submitted the Webike Community "MOTO HACK Touring" Campaign, about using a touring item that you might be interested in.
Here are some of the other riders' favorite goodies you don't usually get to see!
In this article, I would like to share with you some of Yuu's favorite touring items and ideas on his Ninja 1000.
Yuu Profile
About the motorcycle
I bought a 2019 Ninja 1000 to become a returnee rider. I used it for touring only and broke the 10000km mark.
The usual touring style
I enjoy listening to music on the solo touring, and having a good time chatting away on the mass touring!
What I enjoy about touring?
When touring, I always enjoy searching for scenic spots, gourmet food and sweets, and including recommendations from others in my touring course.
Favorite Spot
My favorite spot is a tour of Mt. Fuji. This year I'd like to drive the highland roads of Shinshu.
What are your favorite items?
Brand/manufacturer name: EFFEX
Product name: GEL-ZAB R
Convenient usage and favorite points
I always wear GEL-ZAB when touring.
Common use
It's very easy to install, you just remove the seat, put the GEL-ZAB on, and Velcro it in place. The backside of the GEL-ZAB is processed to prevent slippage, so it does not shift.
Useful tips and tricks
In the past, the pain in my hips would start around the 100km mark, and the pain would peak before I got to 200km. After using the GEL-ZAB, it doesn't hurt at all up to around 200km, but after 300km, the pain starts to appear.
Recommendations
This GEL-ZAB has increased my daily mileage. It doesn't hurt at all, but the pain relief is significant. Also, this allows you to ride normally without losing your foot grounding.
Summary
The gel is quite effective in relieving the pain in my butt when touring and allows me to enjoy riding to the end. However, when you ride away from the bike during a break in the hot sun in midsummer, the gel is very hot because it absorbs heat easily. It becomes a little better just to put some towels etc. when I leave at the time of the hot sun.
