Pull Behind Trailer

I don't see a towing hitch available for the scr950 yet, so maybe nobody has come out with one or it's just not suggested with a bike that's not meant for touring.

The hitch is one issue. The belt final drive is something else and it's a really expensive "else". They reduced the width of the belt when using the V-Star 950 engine in the Bolt/SCR. The weight difference is only 66 pounds, so I'm guessing it was a space issue vs. all-out strength needed. However, pulling a trailer places a greater load on the whole driveline. If the belt can take it, okay. I just wouldn't want to find out the hard way and have one break. Replacement would be involved and expensive. That would not be something I'd want to experience while on a trip. The belt alone is about $340. The pulleys are $177/$530(!)
A chain conversion seems to common among customized Bolts. So, that's doable for strength and gearing changes, at least. Having over a grand in pulleys and a belt sitting on a shelf afterward would be painful! =)

Well there goes the trailer idea. Not worth what could amount to a $1k repair job just for a tent and chain conversions are just not worth the effort and expense.

The rear bags look fine, what I'm more amused by is the large tank bag that looks like it's blocking your arms and speedometer. With imagination, you can pretty much cam with an sized bike. Once saw a Grom loaded down with three bags. :grin2:

Just not the ideal bike to do so.

Must be good if it's Sophie approved. :grin2: For general weekend camping, you're probably fine with a few rear/side luggage bags and a tank bag. Just need to pack smarter and only the necessities. Anything more and you may as well take the car.

Now I need to go get myself a tank bag with a complementary cat.

Does Sophie accompany you on these trips ?!

We like to call those seat warmers and anti theft system. :grin2: Think you can reuse any of those panniers on the scr950?
