    Don't see any letters after the 400 in the thread title, so by default probably yes?

    it obviously seems to work and expands out at the weakest points so why expand it with the seat off? I would be scared that it might distort at the seat junction.
    Wouldn't mind a couple of litres more capacity for the xr but dunno , Honda plastic is probably tougher!

    About time to resurrect this thread!

    I have some DRZ bits available after my recent (re) build -

    17 Litre Tank
    Full Ali bash plate
    Yellow plastics set
    Home made rear rack

    P.M. me if you are interested in any of the above.

    WANTED: Case savers, billet parts + any other fancy aftermarket spares you may have.

    Right now my drz is geared 16/39. I need to get new sprockets and chain shortly though any wondering if I should keep that configuration or...? I don't know that my bike will ever see the dirt it only sees the road/track so I don't really know what to do? Will be used for touring a fair bit. I'd like to get it sitting at 100kph quite happily. It can sit at that right now, or maybe about 110kph. Thoughts?

    we could drag race out to about 145 before my XR would get passed him on the 400.
    dont know what his gearing was but he was more than capable at highway speeds

    The standard gearing on a DRZ400sm is about a good as compromise as you are going to get, for what the bike does.

    he used too, he traded to the dark side last year....
    but before that the DRZ was his noble ADV steed for a few years
