    Do you ever get the urge to try something totally different?

    I hate that G-d Dam ADV. RIDER site. It 'MADE' ride to Alaska. And, than it 'MADE' me buy a KLR. Who knows what it it will make me do next.

    Battery Relocation

    IF your running a car tire, you for SURE won't see any handling benefits.

    Going to the Dark Side

    Real motorcycle tires are cheap, compared to crashed bikes, torn-up gear, and possibly a stay in the hospital, or worse.

    Customize Stock Windshield

    I found that the stock shield directed a lot of dirty air directly into my face in the lowered position, and not very effective in the upper position. So, I cut 3 inches off the top which cleaned up the air a lot (clean air from the shoulders up) while down. Than I built a removable 3"...
