A couple of pics from a trundle down the west coast on the DRZ.... looking for my Neighbors body. Didn't return from fishing on Easter Monday.... on the off chance he got washed up as the other fisherman that went missing a few days before turned up in the Harbor recently.... and the tides were timed well. Not a fun reason to be riding but its always good to be out there on the coast
This was as far as I could get in the Waikato river so time to turn around
A big stump
My Daughter trundled along too
A few of these around too but not many were motorized
Disregarding the extra weight of the seat, it does provide a wide platform for an airhawk which makes for a very comfy ride. When I used to ride with this seat I could ride 10+ hours no probs. Without an airhawk (or similar seat pad) I find the Corbin seats quite hard and uncomfortable, certianly not as comfortable as the $650 price tag would expect you to believe. To be fair though, it is more comfortable than the stock seat

Right - I have decided to get back into the bike game again after being bikeless for a few years and have my hands on a DRZ400e.
I am wanting to put a larger tank on it and almost thing 15ltrs may be too small. I know the seat is a limiting factor in how long you ride but I will also use as my hunting access machine for the tougher to reach areas so like the idea of decent range.
Any thoughts? I can get an IMS for $450 in NZ
Struan's bike transport strikes again!
Biketranz are about to come and take mine away.
When finances allow, what should I buy instead for general adventure type riding?
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

So I have finally managed a little bit of riding on my DRZ and just started on the mods. Its a 2001 DRZ400e - the full HP version.
So far I have put on the MCCT (auto one was seized rock solid), 4gal IMS tank and just waiting on new hand guards to arrive. Just getting it ready for Middlemarch trailride next weekend. Probably the only bike there with a wof.
anyone have a second hand large tank (16+L) for the drz400E they're looking at offloading?
So I have done Macetown and Nevis over the past month and feel rather vulnerable with my undercarriage's lack of protection. Any ideas who makes the best/cost effective/protective bash plate for the DRZ?
Hi ya nigelp, there are a number of options as many companies produce them for the DRZ400. One of them is the B&B Engineering Bash Plates, I've used them for years and haven't shifted as they do their job well.
I will however be trying a TMD Plastic Skid Plate on the next build as they look interesting.
You'll want to get her belly wrapped up as quick as possible, nothing puts a damper on the day like a cracked casing from a rock
