It would be great to see the Stinger 22L stuffed with gear or blankets to see how it carries the load with each leg full too. I have the Reckless 40 (8 Stinger). You basically have a Reckless 54L which has me interested for those longer hauls/trips.
Carlos Thomas great call! I’ll load it up and do another vid on that and do some ride testing. It’s been wicked cold here, hopefully it will warm up soon. Feel free to shoot us an email and I’ll let you know when I post it Hello@SourceADV.com
Awesome! It feels really sturdy! We just got 20 inches of snow in Colorado, so sadly no riding at the moment... But I'm working on wiring the bike for the Nomad ADV tower and getting that mounted, plus putting the IMS 4.5 gallon tank on. Videos should be up in the next month or so. Thank you for the subscribe! Feel free to reach out at SourceADV.com if you have any questions or anything like that. Cheers!
Hi. I just bought my 500 EXCF and have ordered the Reckless 40s. Did you ever make a video with the Stinger 22? I can’t find it. I reckon that 40L will be pretty tight for longer camping trips.
Hey Mike! Sorry about the delayed response, we were just doing the AZBDR, good times! Sorry I did not end up ever doing that video, but to answer your question, yeah the 40 would be really tight, damn near impossible for any semblance of a complete kit (sleeping, cooking, extra clothes, layers). On this AZBDR trip I ran the Tusk expedition 54L kit and that was perfect but I have a very very small backpacking camp kit and I strap the tent outside the 22L bag. I think that is the key, get a very small stove setup like the Peak Soloist, a very small sleeping bag in a compression sac like an REI magma trail quilt and a very small sleeping pad like a Nemo tensor. That seems to buy a lot of space to have room for things like one set of street clothes, a few sets of extra riding socks/shirts, a warm layer, freeze dried meals, etc. so you can really have a complete kit. I think if you planned on doing lodge to lodge style adventure, where you didn’t camp (which is totally possible on BDR’s here in the states with a little planning) then you could get away with the 40L with no camp kit. Hope the helps man! Thanks for the question, ride safe out there!
Reckless 40 and then buy the stinger 22 or give the Tusk Expedition setup a try with the medium duffle and fuel bottle pockets, half the price. Take care!
Jake Dillard it’s great man! I put high volume lightweight stuff up there and keep heavy stuff low and forward. It’s a great kit as long as your camping is ultralight and the treks are ride-focused versus touring focused. I just got my Nomad tower on top and am about to release a video on that install. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions
Hi man, I have the same setup on my 17' husky 501. Did you have any problems of the front right straps getting damaged by the exhaust? I have test fitted it like you did but I am very concerned the exhaust will melt the strap.
Thanks for showing how you do the roll. I'm just dumb I guess. Couldn't get it to conform to that rolled shape like on the website.
Cheers!!

Just got the same setup on my KTM 450, can't wait to test it out. Subscribed and keen to see more of your adventure videos with your set up.

bob marley such a good product! Enjoy!
Great unboxing and install.
Glad you enjoyed it. Take care!
Thanks!
No problem! Just picked up an Reckless 80 for my new 500, might do a video on that too.
@@SourceADV What did you do with the 40L? I’d be interested in buying the old one?
@@timmoore6656 oh, I’m keeping it, I use them for different types of trips. Cheers!
@@SourceADV Right on. Thanks anyway.
No prob! Take care!

@@SourceADV Thanks! AZ BDR had to have been a blast!
Heck yeah! A little early in the season we hit snow a couple times, but overall very cool!
Which bag set up is the 54l. Trying to get a set up for a ride coming up
Reckless 40 and then buy the stinger 22 or give the Tusk Expedition setup a try with the medium duffle and fuel bottle pockets, half the price. Take care!
How do you like the Stinger 22? I have the R40 and nomad rally kit. Thinking about going for the bigger stinger, I need more room
Jake Dillard it’s great man! I put high volume lightweight stuff up there and keep heavy stuff low and forward. It’s a great kit as long as your camping is ultralight and the treks are ride-focused versus touring focused.

@@SourceADV nice. excited to see it. did a timelapse on my channel of the install.
Jake Dillard sick! I’ll check it out. Take care!
Do the bags scratch the plastics?
Rms 1290 when they get really dirty, yes a little bit

I didn’t, but I would check to make sure that strap was tight regularly
@@SourceADV thanks a lot!
