KLR riders out there

[NordieBoy]

BTW If you haven't yet make sure you replace the footpeg bolts - they will strip or shear off when out riding - trust me we know.

And we've got video too

Crim - it's nice to know there's someone as cheap as me out there.

If I was to do it again I would weld a couple of small spacer blocks either side of the pegs & make the area wider (length is good).

Thanks Padmei - exactly what I needed to know, gives me a couple of options, cheap is good but also better "making" than buying a bit more satisfying! Now I just have to talk the wife into the same mindset with her clothes shopping (not holding my breath on that one!)

Mate I've only just learnt to give praise about the missus buys - it's so much easier that way to buy bike goodies

Yeah cheers for that. I sent a text.
Have you got any music from these guys saved anywhere? If so can I get some on my mp3 player?

He only bought it a few months ago. Looks a nice bike but same money buys a later model something so why bother?

Why bother ?....
Because some people like old school. Personly I would rather ride that than a late model KLR, it's got "character" and "style" and prolly ongoing mechanical issues aswell

And unlike some old school bikes , parts and accessories are readily available.

I quite like that tengai, actually could get by with only paying one rego with 2 klrs. Hmmmm?

Tempting. What was that dear? A new oven? Whats wrong with the BBQ?

Maybe not

Does anyone here know where I can get a pre 08 KLR front wheel.
Surely someone has one lieing around somewhere that they don't want anymore.

have tried a few wreckers but no joy so far.

[Padmei]

Is it warrant time? or has it disintefrated further?
I wil have a box of KLR crap soon but no wheels unfortunately.

Too new really to be a real classic, although it may become one if it doesn't hand grenade. I looked when it first went on but decided that front guard would have to go, then some of the body kit in case I went down, then went a bought a DR650.

It does look good though. Nice colours.

The hub is fcuked so I have no speedo drive etc. Was going to get a vapor thingy, but have decided to try for a new front wheel, and then at least I have an option to put a decent knob on the front for laidbacks etc without having to change a tyre everytime.
