Yup, Cameron Pass it is.

Is that Big Bend?

I thought that road looked familiar. Just outside "Happy" Holbrook Az, I grew up not far from there.

NICE!!

Very nice touring gear setup, v. What's the brand, and how do you keep it from rubbing the paint on the tailpiece? What about heat from the pipes on the saddlebags?

The saddle bags and tail bag are Nelson Rigg. The tank bag is Teknic. I've used them on quite a few trips now and have had zero issues with rubbing on the paint. They have a nice soft cover on the back of the saddle bags. the back of the saddle bags do collect road debris and it has started to polish the finish on the exhaust heat sheilds in some small spots. It has been very minor and nothing a brilo pad can't take care of.

No they are pretty easy on the paint but they have started to polish the heat shields on the exhaust from rubbing for 1700 miles.
