Hi,
you have the same setup I have on mine. TR40 are very good. I tested them over a long trip to Italy and back, with all sort of weather (including very heavy downpours), and not an issue. Maybe a bit fiddling with the access, but over all a good choice imho.

Boots for adventure riding. If you don't plan hard enduro, I think Gaerne G Dakar gore tex are a good choice. Also them tested and they are very conmfortable (at least for me) and easy if you want to walk around and visit. They are expensive, but in line with other brands.

Cheers, V.

 

I have exposed the TR40's to the couple of days of rain we have had in the UK and they do hold up well as you say. The locking mech is fiddly and I know a scaly wag with a blade will make short work of getting inside, but for toe rag whole takes a chance the locks are a deterrent which is what made me buy them.

Looks like some penny saving is needed to grab a pair of those boots and thank you for the recommendation.

 

I bought Sidi Canyon Goretex some years back for a trip to Northern India. Rode thru numerous washouts, fords, torrential rain etc. Totally waterproof in my experience. Again, expensive, but total satisfaction.

 

Thank you for that and looking them up now.

 

Hi Dave,

As for boots - I use Sidi Adventure 2 GoreTex (high cuff) - when I had a 7 hour return trip from the mountains in Poland all the way in rain (September/autumn) these boots saved me. They tend to be squeaky (but you can overcome it with some tricks) but very safe, stable. Only in >30-ish (Celsius) range when exposed directly to the sun they could burn the feet. I switched to highly ventilated moto sneakers as a temp solution, but I got myselft a pair of Sidi Aria Gore-Tex which I will try this summer.

I also bought Innovv K7 and also the Thunderbox combo and want to install and Transalp is my first bike .

Could you share your insights on the installation in terms of:

• how have you mounted the cams? i.e. have you used screws or the stickers; have you mounted the back camera separately or have you screwed it to turn signals or other part?
• how have you handled wiring inside the bike - for instance, have you put the wires under the gas tank or on the side, under the black plastic panels?

 

Hi, The rear cam is under my top box plate. And obvious and clean place to put it. The front was a little tricker., I used the stickers at first but they did not handle to much abuse so took the right hand panels off, as you sit on the bike, and found my way to the under the nose part at the front. Drilled a small hole for the included nuts an bolts and that has proves a very solid base indeed.
All the cables have been channel around the tank but they do "disapear" easly and yes behind the black panels. The rear I had to make a small cut out in the rear seat part but you hardly see that.
Hope that helps

 

TCX Gortex boots do what they say on the tin. I'm using the Baja (high) boots and they've never let in despite a full day of biblical rain in Austria & Italy last year.

 

Had TCX for years as my favourite and as you say 100% waterproof, then dug deep and bought Daytona's and they are comfy like slippers

 

My new boots and have survived downpours a RST Adventure-X boots. Very comfy, warm and waterproof.
