This thread has me worried. I'm riding a 1200 Triumph Explorer, with passenger and right about at the 489lb limit. I have a set of Wilds waiting for us in Spokane to replace the Anakee III I have on now that are just about gone. Here's a question for you all: I have the set of Wilds, and I have a new rear Anakee III there in Spokane. The front Anakee III I currently have on has less than 2K miles on it. We are headed to Anchorage via the Cassiar Highway and may attempt the Dempster Highway to Inuvik YT. It's about 2000 miles of nearly all paved road to Dawson City. I was hoping I could get from Spokane to Anchorage on the Anakee Wilds but from what I'm reading I might not even have enough tire left to do the Dempster both ways and then another 1200 miles to Anchorage. It would be roughly a total of 4000-4500 miles. Any thoughts? We leave from Hamilton MT next week. Have already come 3000 miles from PA where I got the bike as a gift from my son. (Nice Kid!!!!). Thanks in advance for any feedback. Ron

I demo'd one at Overland Expo, and I want one now too. That 8000' + elevation didnt seem to make it any less powerful.

Got one! Not that there's such a thing as an overbuild skidplate... but this thing is uber-solid. Nice to not have the kickstand mounted on the important stuff too!

So I got my new chain in with a new breaker/riveter. took the old master link off and found the problem Both of the links that the master went through were oval shaped as I had assumed they would be, going to leave this chain at 120 links which will work fine with the 45t rear sprocket, and if this happens again I can remove the 2 bad links and still use it. Anybody need a 116 link 525 chain in good shape
