Interesting ideas.......all it takes is MONEY!

Hi Wade
Speaking of money - the link you asked for klr suspension is here
money well spent
I found out tonite what the numbers mean on the side of tyres. They mean a Kenda 130/90/17 won't have a shitshow of fitting on a KLR rim without ripping out the subframe.
Nordie - you wanted?
Maybe it's a 140? anyway too big
Pump it up before you stick the rim back on the bike, 'bout 70 psi should do, then stick the bike in gear , with the back wheel off the ground of course, and "shave" the side knobs off with one of mothers good kitchen knives
Might pay to keep the sticky plasters handy too
Hey Mark
Well, I'm in the states at the moment..... I'll source those parts while here.....
Still looking at that 705 kit...Yum, Yum!!!
But, like you said..."I really don't want to make it a dirt bike"
Decisions - Decisions...
See you when I get back..
Hey, catching up with my buddy that rode the Paris Dakar in 2006 or 2007 can't remember...Boy, does he have some stories..
I'll post some pics of him and his bike....
Take Care

Hmmmmm you're in the States..... Just wait till I surf some websites then I'll get back to you...
yes 705 has a cool ring to it - I understand its the most reliable too as some 685's warp the bore so a new liner seems the ideal
Its -wierd - I know the KLR is my 'all road' bike and I have a trail bike but I keep wanting to strip all the plastic shit off it and see where I can get it....
Take some photos of your rides as well
actually Padmei - most of those girls come from the Phillipines - not the States
But doesn't the cylinder head require a lot of work to feed the 705? So the cost goes up, and up, and before long you've spent so much that your bargain KLR now costs more than some Eurotrash.
If you're really paranoid about barrel distortion, a 705 sleeve bored for a 685 piston might be the answer, plus the thermobob to better regulate the engine temps
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Not that I recall, but that doesn't mean much, my memory is like a sieve these days. If it's something you think I should be missing (apart from my mind) please PM me
