After a lifetime of riding litre bikes on the street, I never had an urge to ride offroad... until COVID-19 shut everything down in 2020. I decided to get my feet wet with a CRF250L, and after a season I determined this kind of street riding was where I would be going for the next several years.
Consequently when I found a great deal on an Africa Twin, I decided to do to it what I've done with my other bikes... deck it out with good stuff - then go have fun.
I gathered up everything that I've got for the bike, gear, and camping so far and put them in lists with photos and prices.
See the link to the Top Accessories video where I show you my picks that were based on my experience and riding style target... and it can help guide you to your own pick list. The video lists the accessories by looks, protection, and touring.

After delays in getting my wheel decals, I finally broke down and just made my own (not advised). After a lot of work, I think they turned out ok... but I still don't know how those decal guys can afford to stay in business (takes me way too long to do).
Some of the bigger additions were installed and ready for wheel decals and trinkits coming next.
Various interruptions and COVID type things delayed the primary completion, but it started in October and the main stuff was finally ready near the end of July.
