    You dont need any euro-flash - go to the wreckers and find a twin spot caliper of a GSXR or something. The 08 calipers are the same as the Yamaha Super Tenere (same pads, anyway)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Thumbs up KLR ( Or is it really what we would call a KLX ? )

    Same situation the guy on the African Odessey faced when trying to source KLR parts. He couldn't figure out why nothing seemed to fit, turns out that although it said KLR on the tank, it was what we call a KLX

    ( Note the frame with WELDED rear footpeg mounts - bolted on rear pegs on a KLR - but welded on the KLX 650 here in NZ )

    For what it's worth......

    My KLR thinks it's a Hyundai - running happily at the red-line hour after hour.....

    Thumbs up And on a TOTALLY different note.......

    But VERY relevant to KLR bashers.......

    I'm just watching the 1995 movie 'HACKERS' and a Angelina Jolie jumps on the back of a guys bike and rides off into the darkness

    I'm fairly sure it was a KLR650

    Enough said

    Somehow I still prefer Trinity making her getaway on the Speed Triple. A chick that rides will always out-do a chick that pillions.

    Yeah WW but you'd be amazed how many leatherclad chicks want to jump on the back of a KLR as it's cruising along. Happens to us all the time. They're just one big afrodisiac.

    That'd be none of the cute ones then, and quite a few of the butch ones with da chains, multiple piercings & facial hair....

    Hey! You leave my mother out of this

    'sfunny, some years ago I did some - ahem - riding with a gay & lesbian m/c club. The "ladies" were all pretty rugged, but the gents just seemed like normal sprotsbikers - and were scared of the "ladies".
