(I haven't figured out how to whistle in text so just imagine it) Wittwooo. That's a good lookin ride!  Lots of nice mods. Welcome BK. What part of the planet do you do the daily ride? Did you know you can go to "Profile" and add an avatar, your hometown and a signature if you're so inclined. It does help us readers get a perspective. ;) |

Sharp bike, BK. You've got some really nice bits on there. You like the dished saddle?

Thanks for the tips. I have updated the profile. I ride the metromess. DFW about 70 miles a day. I love the KLR in the city. People freak when you pass them at 85mph on a dirtbike. The dished seat Is great for me, I like to have both feet on the ground at a stop. 5-10" frame.

That's a nice looking bike!
I'm really liking the way you have gone with the red and silver/grey color scheme.
I'm impressed.
Very simplistic, yet elegant . . . . well, maybe that's not a good word to use for a KLR650, but I think you get my thought process!

Yep....She'a beauty!!! That's for sure!!!
I am wondering...what type of header and exhaust is that? and how much louder than stock is it? How much does it wake the old steed up?? Who or where does one get those front crash bars around the rad etc from??? How much better is the front fender also and why did you put it on ???
Sorry to highjack your thread...but I just got to know!!! lol
Nice bike by the way!!!

Big gun head pipe and Staintune exhaust, the guards are Happy Trails. I love the sound and the weight loss. It feels to have more power in the low and mid range powerband.

Ya, but you got the good Mexican food and you are able to white line the traffic. People freak when I split the lanes at 30mph

KLR650.com for the headlight guard and Rocky Tucker for the front fender. Both great companies.

StarLynx, It is just the headlight guard. I am not sure where the side wind defletors are from.
