[marks]

So what do ya reckon the shipping on one of them ricor shocks should be? Hmmm if the greenback plummets tonite to 80 nz cents....

I got quoted $198US shipping for the shock so I emailed Ricor but haven't heard back

It's perfect - a 650, with almost double KLR horsepower, and it's STILL ugly as sin

Saw that last nite as well. The irridescent green stood out for miles in the pics. I don't think the forks are ugly enough to be Kawa tho...

Would be good to see the versy & this creation side by side in the flesh to see what he's done

I just saw a mention in passing that holycaveman and B.C.Biker on ADVrider are running 705 kits...

Why havn't any of you done that and let me have a go?

[Padmei]

I don't think it would really make much difference. They're more often than not put in as an substitute for the normal piston etc for those with oil burning problems. Not that much more expensive if you have to open the donk up anyway.

Besides which you still wouldn't like it - it's a KLR after all...

680 kits like marks's'ss'sss maybe but 705cc is getting big...

I like KLR's.

I still think they're weird though

705 sounds MUCH MUCH bigger than a piddling 685 - almost DR Biggish

much more expensive - got to buy and press in and machine a new cylinder liner

and yes KLR's are weird - its what gives them character - the lawn tractor that could

Here is Gonzo readied for action. Lost the back rack & wired up a UFO headlite & indicators for a quick change. It takes 3 mins approx to change - 6 screws to undo & 2 to install.

I thought I might be wasting my time doing this as the front rarely gets hit, however as it turned out the first ride enduroised I ran the front into a rocky rooty bank. Doesn't make much difference handling wise except I can see the front working more but was a good project & I like the result.

During the week it is a docile street machine.

In the weekend it becomes an enduro crazy machine

Are those indicators built into the headlight

[NordieBoy]

Looks ruff 'n tuff but pink isn't really your colour...

[NordieBoy]

Yep. Built in...

[Padmei]

I think they're har dto get now in NZ. A few shops remembered them but couldn't get them. I went to the Nordie Emporium.

[NordieBoy]

I do like this one...

[Padmei]

Nup can't see the funny side really

[pete376403]

have you weighed the original fairing and brackets? Just out of interest, when the '08s came out there was a lot of internet-raving-masquerading-as-fact that the new fairing added 50 lb to the bike.
