My Iron Butt 5000 Rally

This is the blog that I started for friends and family to follow my Long Distance Riding preparation and competition in the inaugural Iron Butt 5000, a 5 day 5000 mile motorcycle rally. In May 2011, Mike Kneebone for the IBA announced there would not be an IB5000 in 2012, but instead that the IBA and Team Strange would be sponsoring the But Lite 6IX in 2012. So that makes this blog a bit of Long Distance History, so I've decided to leave it as it is for historical purposes. I will create other blogs as I have new adventures and rally competitions.

Hooked Up and Ready to Ride

I have wrapped up the Aux Tank install. The fuel line, vent hose, and grounding are all hooked up. I have a basic black cover and foam padding for it right now, but this will be updated and improved. The transfer works well and the set-up looks pretty good with the bags on both sides. The first picture shows the installed fuel line to the tank (I did add a hose clamp after the picture was taken). The second picture shows it all back together with the black cover and bags hooked up.
