I just watched most of your vids. Very nice presentations. I have a 390 and live in the Bay Area of California. This summer I rode a rally in Arizona down by the Mexican border, then 600+ miles of the NMBDR, a week in the N. CA redwoods, and lastly, a 4-day advanced ADV training class in Utah (taught by Dart at Grit). I'm 65 and done for the summer. I need to let my shoulder ACL heal from a fall. Have fun on all your adventures in Japan!
Hey Thanks a lot! At 65?! Bravo my friend, that’s is definitely not something many other 65 year olds could say. Hope for a quick recovery on that shoulder🤟🏻.
And another thing - I noticed that my own 390ADV’s handlebar tends to wobble on the autobahn, when I‘m fully packed with luggage (starts at around 130kph)… Did you notice sth. similar on the highway?
Hey ftchannel, that’s sounds pretty terrifying. Sounds like a classic speed wobble? I haven’t experienced that, but I also haven’t tried going that fast when fully packed.
@advinjapan I carry up to 100 pounds on long camp trips that includes all my bags, gear, and lots of water for deserts here in the USA, and have never experienced any wobble up to 85mph. I would be sure to have some heavy items, like tools, in bags up on the crash bars to distribute some of the weight forward.
I am not entirely sure. I bought it used on Mercari, but if I had to make an educated guess, it’s probably originally from Aliexpress. a.aliexpress.com/_omnnjAD

Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to go through everything!
The pleasure is all mine friend, that’s what this general is all about.
great looking setup, really enjoyed the video and also loved watching the cats pop in and out of frame.
Thanks Max 😸!
Did you see the look in kitty's eye? You better mount a cat bag as well. ❤
Hehe, yeah, what didn’t make it in the video were the dozen or so times they came outside screaming at me for attention 😂🤣
Are you using license free music, or are you by any chance playing drums & Co by yourself? :D
Hah🤣, I actually can play drums, but no, for the channel I am using UA-cam studio songs.
