As I'm reaching 2 years with my osprey, I thought it'd be nice to post about where it's been with me and what it has handled so far.

I can handily pack it out with work laptop, gym clothes (incl. Boxing gloves) lunch, an impractically large stanley tumbler and hygiene bag to lug with me every day to the office.

But it's managed 4 day camping trips. A massive cross country motorcycle adventure across Morocco and weekend getaways to Stockholm, London and even a week trip to Thailand.

Surprisingly, despite how chunky it is the internal and external compression always made small enough to (sometimes with a touch of violence) pass the cabin bag box test that Ryanair uses.

Though I've only ever been asked twice to do so.

Most of the time the Ryanair people don't even give it a second look.

The only real gripe I've ever had with it is the fact that the admin pocket only has a single zipper this has caused some of my things to fall out on a couple of occasions as I've overpacked.

In summary the bag is great, it has seen a ton of abuse and remainins undamaged. Will post an update in a year maybe to see how it's held up but so far so great.

Hi everyone, had a bit to of a stupid moment yesterday.

Wanted to wait by the road for my friend and the bike slid on a gravel patch.

I remember nothing whatsoever one moment I was upright, the other I was horizontal.

The bike is fine, just got a nasty lil scratch on the stator cover, the mole 1 fairing and the crash protector is out of the game.

I was curious about the mole 1.

Since it's bare Plastic I'd like to restore it.

The part itself if 73£ and I will buy it as a last resort, but I don't really have any experience with restoring scratched plastic fairings

As for the stator cover, saw them go for not even 40 on ali, but it seems way to cheap and I wanted to ask about your experience as far as the quality goes.

Pics of the aftermath included.

Added an ebay belly pan just cuz I feel the "gut hanging out" look wasn't exactly for me, love this thing.

I was thinking of maybe adding an led relay for sunken in indicators but i haven't found any vids online and I'm kind of anxious of drilling holes into the fairing. It's just the stock indicators look goofy as heck. But I might just keep it as stock as possible in the end.

Got an stl for it on yeggi and then added two rings, the handle (which i also stole from somewhere) and two pillars in places so you'd still see the logo)

Thought it would be midly interesting to someone.

The two thin sheets of tin that hold the handle fail over time and if you know someone with a 3d printer, it's about 1,57$ in petg.

Excuse the socks,

The posterior could be a little tighter but I didn't have the heart to give it back for another round when the old tailor told me he damn nearly wrecked his fingers working on the bloody thing.
