Bought a Farley 5 from a coworker and excited to turn it into my adventure bike!

ISO recommendations on:
frame bags
rear rack
dropper posts
forks
etc.

Frame- I used ortilieb on the bar, frame and seatpost bag, they were fantastic.
Rear rack: never used one
Dropper: I only build with one up. Never had issues, I use wolf tooth remotes
Fork:
bikepacking: rigid for all the mounts like an anything cage or equivalent, throw a jet boil or msr windburned on it, or a tarp etc.
If you don’t need the space can’t go wrong with a mastodon, personally I use the lauf but that’s a different beast.
Depending what/where u go consider a trailer and you don’t need anything and can set your bike up the way you want with less bulk.
I have a burley nomad(Robert axle project) it’s crazy but very limited in trails. Way easier to pack.
