Eddie I had my seat redone at a place in UPPER HUTT for about $120 from memory. Can't remember their name but was at end of Whakatiki Street. Can ride for 2 hours non stop instead of 20 minutes.

Thanks Noel, too late unfortunately. I buckled and ordered a seat from Procycle last night.

I got some garage time today so I installed the rear luggage rack I purchased some time ago. I was intending to leave this off till I had sourced a lower mileage bike but all the good ones had gone by the time I got my funds together. The rack replaces the stock grab rails and hence the indicator mounts so I had to remove the rear guard and re-run the indicator lines.



If you've got a good post 2002 DR you want to sell in the ~$4500 range drop me a line.

Fitting the rack allowed me to also mount the Pelican style topbox that came with it. I've mainly fitted the box for the upcoming Cold Kiwi rally, the box has padlock holes so I can store my camera etc in it and carry a bit of gear up in it.



'cuse the crap low light cell phone pics.

In my experience, the boxes are good but you have to make sure they are full. The reason being, when riding over rough ground, the contents buck and jump and re-arrange themselves something chronic! If you are going to carry electronic gear, make sure it is well padded and fill 'er up.
I spose I don't need to tell you that anyway, but food for thought

+ 1 If I have spare space I throw in a towel (no not give up) as packing. Also comes in handy for drying out fellow riders who fail river crossings

+1 on the towel. There is one permanently in my Givi bag as a cushion or a wrap if the box isn't very full.

mmmmm, looky in my garage.

Gotta love those DR's

You better be careful Eddie. If they breed, you might end up with a JR50 as well. It'd look funny green though.
