Scrambler Noob Saying Hi And Seeking Advice On Accessories

Ok, not UK based so keep that in mind - I'm in Canada.

Trackers: unlikely to matter. If the bike is stolen it's gone. You don't want it back. Thieves will often look for trackers now, and tools exist to find them. This doesn't mean they're useless, but you've got to be realistic. Also, usually damage is done during theft or very soon afterwards.

Spend money getting good insurance coverage. If it's stolen, get a new bike.

A disc lock or what have you is decent in that you make the next bike a more appetizing target, and help dissuade purely opportunistic thieves, but you won't stop a serious thief. You can still just pick up a bike and put it in a van. Probably better to have than not, but again... Be realistic.

There are dual sided rack options, but they aren't cheap. Unit Garage is the one I know of off hand.

Honestly, though. If you want to carry a ton of luggage this isn't the right bike. It's not impossible, but frankly you'd be better off with a Tiger.

With that being said, the OEM rack and side bag are VERY reasonably priced, high quality and much larger than you'd likely think. There's LOTS of good left side rack options as well, mostly pretty reasonably priced. Don't think there's any problem with running one side bag.

Rear racks: these are notorious for breaking. Others can give better answers of which.are good and which aren't, but put simply do not expect to put a lot of weight on one. Again, the bike just isn't designed to function like a BMW GS. However. If you're not carrying a passenger, a tail bag works just fine. Be that the OEM duffle or something else, just strap it into the passenger seat and you're good for a couple hundred pounds.

I routinely travel on mine with the OEM "Rugged Pannier" and a large tail bag.on the rear seat, no problems at all. The seat even has tie down points, in addition to the stock grab rail.

Few rackless systems will work. The exhaust and it's heat shield gets hot. Not insurmountable but you'd need to be careful, and given what Mosko gear costs I'd be REALLY hesitant to risk it.
