Bad form  De Chew . I just cannot ever see myself posting a photo like that or commenting on anything on a ride that
will not build a riding buddy up.
Where is the RR then  :ricky:
 
Haha, don't believe a word subie says  ;D

Some very nice pics, looks like it was a nice ride.

I assume my old school frind Andre was with you?

Was but a day run so not much to write about, but got some cool pics so decided to share.

I like the set up of your DR. Do you have any more pics of it?

I have more picture of it than of my wife :biggrin:
Will post a few.
 
Different luggage options and tyres.
The TKC are expensive and don't last on the back but they are worth it.

Awesome man. Thanks. Enjoyed the comment about the wife and pics
 
Mods:
Gen-U-Iron Suzuki Bash plate
18.5l Tank. Make ?? EBS or something like that
Bark-Busters
One LED Spot mounted on the reflector bracket (5 min job)
Screen came from down under.
Pat Walsh carry rack. removed the grab handles
Vapour Dash (what a crap thing it is as well)
Front suspension modded: smaller valve hole (5mm down to 2mm), spacer and thicker oil (big improvement)

Honda rear indicators. The Suzuki ones are lying on a hillside in Lesotho  
Goes 5km/h slower now but at least people can see when i am turning.



 
Ok Chew, question time:
Are those Wolfman saddle bags?
How do you find them?
Do you need pannier racks for them?
Do you exhaust protection for the bag?

(Need something that will fit both the Twin and the KLR!)
Tx.

How do you find them?                          With great difficulty and much perseverance.
Do you need pannier racks for them?      No
Do you exhaust protection for the bag?   No but the plastic side panel does a bang up job.

Okay Slakkie here is the skinny  :       https://www.patwalshdesigns.com  

Wolfman is good kit. Well made and once you get used to all the straps an buckles*, easy to fit. Stays put as well.
* Watch the online fitting videos.
