Hello everyone!  New to the boards but an excited to have my first enduro!  The KLR seems like a perfect fit for me and I research resources before I chose a bike...KLRs have a ton of peer support.

I need to purchase a few things on the bike and was wondering where the best place is for each.

Choke lever is broke
Decent cheap grips
Fort seal covers
Local store that would carry vinyl dye (walmart didn't have it)

Thanks guys...here's a really crappy pic of the bike:

Perhaps locking the barn door after the horse is stolen, I recommend Eagle Mike's mirror/choke lever relocation bracket.

Prevents/reduces collateral mirror stem damage to handlebar switchgear in the event of a fall, plus relocates choke lever to a more protected position.

Shown on KLR650, but fits KLR250:

 Welcome Neen!
Grips are inexensive and can be found at any shop or online.
The product Trailrider mentioned is good stuff and can be found here. http://www.eagle-m-e.com/
Daystar makes a replacment fork boot that will fit.
Instead of trying to dye the seat material just replace it.  Vinyl material isn't expensive.
Have fun!  I'm cruizin'

Excellent, thanks for the info guys.  I'll probably keep the stock setup on the clutch lever but I think I'll just reupholster the vinyl now.

Just to clarify, the Eagle Mike bracket relocates the CHOKE lever (and the left rear-view mirror stem); only costs a few dollars and will protect your choke lever from future damage.
