    I used the high temp red RTV to glue a stainless pot lid to the KLX, was showing every sign it'd be there for a while when I sold it.

    I used Silaflex N Plumbing and Roofing Silicone Sealant on the one from Perry.
    Been about 4 years and all good.

    A Neutral cure one was suggested to avoid corrosion.

    Spent a bit of time today and made some stainless heel rests for the DR.
    Much betterer to ride with the heel supported and therefore the entire leg more relaxed.

    Sounds worryingly Harlyesque.

    Engine oil and filter done...
    97,300km

    Air filter to go (TwinAir all ready to go on) and that's the bike prep stuff done.

    Apart from steering bearings and a front tyre but you can live without them....

    End of this trip and it'll be deep into the 99 thousands...

    I've also found a nice spare DR650 headlight with adjustery bits.
    It was filed under Glass, not Headlight, which is why I couldn't find it earlier...
