Ive removed 7kg so far, and may modify the rear for another 7 but don't want to change look to much,

Stiffening up forks would be on the cards also and an under slung pipe like the Dakar's wouldn't go astray either

Im going to try it as is with Knobblies now and if I thinks its still to portly or spongy it will be all on

Of course. Dino pampered it, I rode it and pampered it like him. She is an awesome girl.....did me proud anyway and I got the photos to prove it....I miss it. I nearly bought it back... Nice, look after her. You had one so know the unlimited potential, she is rally proven as we all know...

Yes, it was in good nic I thought (once it was cleaned) and interesting enough the 750 is about 10kg lighter than the 800 I had so should be more mangle off road and perhaps a better platform for a Big Dirt Bike as the KTM has taken over the role of ADV road tourer but not great in loose stuff with the present tires on nor its 220kg girth

PS and you guys are welcome to catch a ride on the DR at some stage for nostalgia's sake
