    I'd often wondered why the mounting system for the bashplate on the 640 seemed so hefty, until I read recently an annual service tip of "check your bashplate bolts and replace the bent ones." When you think about it, the bashplate can cop a fair whack which is taken out on the mounts.

    it was a smallish rock on the Maungatap. Front wheel ran over it and I think levered up the buried unseen part which hit the basplate and bloody near stopped the bike in its tracks.
    Fastest the KLR has ever stopped.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Fortunately i had my nads pre-retracted. Worse thing was when I stopped to see wtf happened I forgot (yes forgot) to put the side stand down and we both fell over in a heap. Thats how i bent my clutch lever.

    Indicators.

    Wadaya guys reckon.

    Got sick of breaking rear indicators, so got these WR ones cos they are way cheaper than klr ones. It may look a little dorky but the chances of breaking them now are pretty remote, and the best thing is they bolt straight on, all you need is a slightly longer bolt.
    haven,t been for a ride yet but they look solid enuff.

    Look like they'll do the job. Have you tried laying the bike on the ground (gently at a standstill ) to see if they strike?

    Fitted cheapo after-market XR indicators to my DR200SE, pretty much as soon as I got it. They were protected fairly well by the hand rails. OEM ones were on stalks and around 20cm long

    Cheers,
    Colin
