My beloved "Clure" and me checking out an old stage stop on the Wenas Wagon Road, Central Washington State......
Thanks for all the compliments, they are appreciated! I used Rustoleum gloss black enamel paint, just under 6 bucks at home depot. I went over the wheels with steel wool to clean them and create a little texture. In hindsight I wish I had used an etching primer, but I'm a bad combination of stupid and lazy Next I taped up the tires and spokes. This was the most time consuming part of project but it's worth it. Then I started spraying. Put on 4 coats I think. I'm really stoked with the results and think they look awesome!
Adventure/Touring version: The Terrry Adcox seat, this is a king/queen set up intended for my wife and I to do some overnight trips.
What?? Winner?? Wait a minute! Is that a Charlie Sheen bike?? Everyone knows the '07 Black, Silver and Gold KLR looks the best and it's by far the fastest. Oklahoma City Iron Range Riding Area, Gilbert MN. Big Aspen Recreation Area, MN.
Building up the old bike for a serious adventure summer. It has over 60k on the clock (or so I imagine) and I plan to ride it for a few weeks straight this summer on the TAT. One of my maintenance items was to perform a Doo status update. Originally replaced it with EM's Doo in 2007 and the tight spring is now out of travel. Just purchased the torsion spring (to be installed soon), but for some reason the doo shaft is binding on the inner case. Not sure why. I sent this video to Eagle Mike and he'd never seen such a thing. <object width="425" height="240" ><param name="movie" value="https://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2011030702.swf" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashVars" value="s=ZT0xJmk9MTIyNTE3NDMwNSZrPUo5Z0NKJmE9MTYzMDI4ODRfYWZISjkmdT1EaXJ0eURvZw==" /><embed src="https://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2011030702.swf" flashVars="s=ZT0xJmk9MTIyNTE3NDMwNSZrPUo5Z0NKJmE9MTYzMDI4ODRfYWZISjkmdT1EaXJ0eURvZw==" width="425" height="240" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object> With the inner cover removed, the doo works as designed. Any ideas? I'm thinking it must have just been grit causing some extra friction. Need to reassemble with fresh oil to be sure. Already upgraded the clutch to the EBC Dirt/MX heavy-duty clutch kit (easy swap). Added some bar risers too. Still to do: Brakes Drivetrain Fork seals & wipers Raising links Fork brace (maybe)
new pipemaster exhaust on the 08, did some maintenance to her today, oil, n air all sweet sounds a treat..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6zryYj_w34
Thank you. I hope to find that it is as comfortable as I hoped it will be! This is not the weekend to find out, non stop rain in Pittsburgh area
Hey there, Is that the ZG double bubble or sport touring? how's the highway performance, and how tall are you?
Well of course it is the sport touring to go with the adventure/touring seat! I'm 5'8" and the shield does not put me in gold wing style still air, but compared to the stock Screen it is much better. The klrdash risers really did not appear to help at all compared to the screen alone at the stock angle. I have seen some of the other windscreens that grew much wider as well as taller, but then your looking through the shield and I dont like that. For now, I think this is as good as I will get without going to those extreme and large screens. Also, I ordered the dark tinted zero gravity, I wish they said on the web site that dark smoke is not able top be seen through!! It is black, and at my limited height, I am often forced to try to see through it as I crest a high spot in the road or crest a hill. I think I'll sale out and get the light smoke tint. Anyone want to trade? Lol.... Being short sucks because I love the look if the dark smoke on the black bike.
Here are two 15 min. videos from my trip to the end of the world. No sound yet but loads of pics and videos. Turn your favorit music on if you want some audio Cheers B.
