The guy seems to handle the big bikes pretty well.

That't a bit rich. I will be in Germany during July, if your not in a rush I could get you the parts. I suspect that shipping from Holland to Germany would be a lot cheaper. With a bit of luck I could find an alternative source for the parts.

[Eddieb]

I got a reply today saying 24 euro's was the price for shipping. I could probably get one made here for half that.

[Kokopelli]

For sure, it's not hard to make this part.

[JATZ]

Fair price ?

That's going straight to the ...

Depends how much you value a larger tank and an extended swing arm. To replicate it all would cost more. It's a cool looking bike, but to be fair, you could probably get a 950 for this sort of money. Or an almost new X-challenge.

Not often someone "upgrades" to DR650 forks

[Eddieb]

That looks suspiscously(sp) like Guzzi Tony's bike. It is well set up and gets along well. As Alex said if it's your thing you couldn't do it for cheaper.

[JATZ]

I could almost see m'self wobbling round the countryside on it. Certainly looks the shiz, I just thought 12500 was a little steep for a 23yr old bike with 130000 odd k's.

Actually the BIG is newer and has less k's, wonder if I could get more for it

they are a nice bike to ride.Very well balanced and much easier to ride at low speeds than their appearance suggests.Nice on the road too .40 l could be good for 700 ks.If i fill the pd to the very top i get over 500 k before reserve which is about 30 L used.If you completed the twin plug conversion,one of the main benefits is even better fuel range.
