I did a quick search but did not find much on the topic, so: I have found that when I'm standing(riding sand etc.), it feels like the tank is really in the way roundabout where my knees are. I was wondering wether there is a tank available that has a little slimmer profile just at the edge of...

Im looking for a torque wrench but don't need Gedore etc. Has anyone worked with FORCE tools before? Their price is good and the wrenches look solid, but are they?

Opening scene: After checking out some of the rebuilds that have been done I got inspired, especialy by Grego's  :thumleft:. My ideal rebuild bike would be one that I could play in Atlantis with afterwards, maybe even attempt an enduro. I wasn't looking for an extremely powerful engine since I...

<Rant on> I cant get this bleddie Dakar thing out of my head! I want to, but the realities make it damn near impossible! Make it stop, make it go away... <Rant off> Many thanks

Decided my standard black Airoh was a "safety hazard". Went and got some reflective vinyl sheeting (from a signs/numberplate maker), pinstriping for "zeffing" your car from Midas and a lot of patience. First laid out design in masking tape. Once design was finalized, I added another layer of...

I found this rather interesting alternative for keeping my saddlebags off the bike. I like the simplicity of the design 'cause I can have it lasercut and bent very easily. It's from https://www.fishersaddlebags.com/Kawasaki/08klr650.html Opinions? Good or bad... I have the oxford saddlebags...

Oh lecap is going to LOVE this!  :pot: I'm a regular cheapskate KLR rider. I am also a typical souf afrikan and have a lekke boep, weighing in at about 100kg without kit. Because of this my rear suspension has already suffered and I NEED to upgrade. So, Step 1 is to get a stiffer spring...

I've recently put my KLR up for sale with the idea to wait, save and buy me a 640 ADV >:D. Man was I excited about this! The KLR sale took some time, up untill lastnight. I then came to realize that I'm actually quite attached to the pig. After all, she's been my first. In a glorius moment of...

Hello there dogs. The time has come that I've "outgrown" my KLR. And maybe because I fell in love with a 640 Adv... I bought the bike in December 2009, so it's registered in 2009. It is however a 2010 model nonetheless as indicated by the colour scheme notably the BLACK front fender and deeper...

Hi, I'm looking for a bike to fool around with to spare the KLR the agony. Will prefer KDX, but is open to suggestions. Budget is in R15000 neg. range.

So it turns out that the KLR is suffering a bit under my "gatjeuk" to play/jump/etc. As expected of a KLR owner, I have limited cash but feel I need another bike to spare the KLR the punishment. Does anyone have an idea wether this something to look at...

I have an opportunity to get a pair of BMW GS2 boots for the low low price of only... R1700!!  Brand spanking new! I am very tempted, but have read they're not waterproof... I do like the protection they can offer and they look the business! Any comments to make up my mind will be...

So my Tourmaster jacket tore at one of the seams the other day. Went to dealer where I bought it and got the rep's number. Be seeing him next week. Will keep everything posted. Question is, should I accept it if they fix it, demand a new one or ask for money back? 3,2,1, Shoot!

I want to make a pannier rack for my KLR. I need a pipe bender but don't want to buy one as they are just about as expensive as a rack in the shops. If anyone has such a bender, I would like to rent it from them for the duration of the job. I will take full responsibilty and replace if anything...

This is my first RR, so please bare with me: The Mission: Matroosberg, Ceres The Recruits: skedonkie, Wolf, Bessie, Zool and Attie The Machinery: KLR, X-Challenge,X-Challenge,X-Challenge, 950 There's not much to say other than what the photo's can show. All of us made it through the first...

Firstly, I did try the search function. Please excuse me if I missed a previous thread on this! I just got hold of my new progressive forksprings for my KLR!!  :laughing4:  :laughing4: I want to install them myself, but I'm not shure where the pitfalls are. Also, I'm a bit unclear about how...

Hi, I'm not exactly new to the forum, but I would like to "reintroduce" myself: I'm a 24 year old from Stellenbosch, got a KLR in December last year and loving it! I woud like to get some more people to ride with in the evening etc., anyone? My experience is limited but I'm not an absolute...

I bought myself the Kappa soft panniers (saddlebags I suppose) today as I am heading to Cederberg this weekend. I hung them over the bike (KLR 650 2008+) and the bike plastics keep them away from the zorst and outof the rear wheel area. The problem is they are resting on the plastics now and...

I just bought a second-hand Leatt brace. It's the MotoGPX and the guy gave me a reasonable price. Only now am I starting to worry... was this a smart idea?  Comments?

Gents, and ladies I am happy to share with you that I will be picking up my baby on Thursday!! Thanks to everyone for their advice and input, especially to 2strokeDan and GoonRider With this I would like to ask who is in the Stellenbosch area as I am VERY eager to take my first trip. Note...
