The Dr will be able to leap tall rocks in a single bound. (and throw your arse over the bars if your dampening is shot).
Seriously though, nice kit.

Agreed. Make sure that the shock rebound damping isn't overwhelmed cause its pretty lack lustre even with the stock shock. New valve stack maybe?The Dr will be able to leap tall rocks in a single bound. (and throw your arse over the bars if your dampening is shot).

The rebound damping will be a bit brisk but still better than original.
The rear spring is on, the ride height is set and it makes the high beam look like a dip
Much nicer through the washboards on the inside of the gravel corners.
Now to get some help doing the front end.
Hmmm, I knew there was a reason I didn't charge the workshop manager at the Suzuki shop last time I fixed his computer

Obviously recognised the quality of my photos
My little thread is on the way there, just need to get SS interested in bikes and it'd be away

Is that the stuff they call 'aftermarket suspension' ? I'd heard some bikes need it, it's a bit of a foreign concept to us KTM owners though.
She should go well with all that set up properly, you must be running out of things to bling on that DR now...

I'm sure my large arse would require new springs and associated valving even for a KTMIs that the stuff they call 'aftermarket suspension' ? I'd heard some bikes need it, it's a bit of a foreign concept to us KTM owners though.
Just one of the reasons why I stick with the DR cause I'm gona get stuck for suspension upgrades either way. Oh and KTM LC4's cost more too

He hasn't got a fork brace yet, I have confirmation that mine is in the post.
I have a great DR650 wobble inducing tire in my garage to test it out with too, you know, one that walks around bends and makes you button off in shingle. Funny but it is great on the Transalp, steady as on that.

Well, that and smoothness

Only got suspension valving, more betterer lighting, fork brace, lower pegs, thicker bashplate and hydraulic clutch to go...
Should be done by next week

Well one thing I don't like...
No more going seated over the speed bumps down Beatsons Road at 70kph without my bum coming off the seat
Back to jumping them like I used to on the Nordie.

Hows your speedo going? Im looking at getting one from their site. Looking at the 3150 which has a fuel gauge
Armature speller
Complicated as it dosn't got one.
I like the simplicity of my one but wouldn't mind a TrailTech Vapor which also does engine temp.
I wouldn't get the extra holder with the indicators all around it as it takes up too much room on the DR dash.
Forum whore
...Looking at the 3150 which has a fuel gaugeYes, as far as i can tell the speedo only has a fuel level display, you would hook it up to your existing sensor/sender unit in the tank, but as Nordie says the DR doesn't have a sensor/sender unit in its tank. So you'd have to get one of those from somewhere and then I'd hate to imagine the problems of making something like that fit and work properly.
