This is what my bike looked like when I bought it in June 2011. (Not my bike but mine looked exactly the same)
![]() How it sits now. MODS: 2006 DR650 20,055 miles Switched from blue to all white plastic and 2009 white tank 2009 Black seat Polisport Supermoto front fender Low profile front blinkers LED rear license plate mounted blinkers Procycle tail cleanup kit Fatbars Underbar mirror MSR Pro raptor clutch perch with shorty lever R6 quick throttle tube Scott MX2 Grips Grip heaters Zeta Bar end sliders Zeta engine plugs Zeta oil filler cap Flashing LED tail light bulb HID 5k 35w headlight conversion Warp9 supermoto wheels Michelin Pilot Power 3 tires 150/70/17 & 120/70/17 520 chain coversion 15/44 gearing Axle sliders homemade TM40 carb Twinair filter SS front brake line Eibach rear spring Eiback fork springs Ricor Intiminator fork valves Superbrace fork brace Sealsavers Ballistic Evo 8 cell lithium battery (under 2 lbs) Removed battery box Removed passenger foot pegs/brackets Removed rear grab bars No orange lenses on bike Trailtech vapor mounted in bar pad GSX-R 35F0 muffler Keintech mid-pipe Polished stock header The only thing that I still want to do, is either the high compression piston or the 790 kit. Depends on how ambitious I get this winter. I basically tried to make it look like how a factory DR650sm should look if Suzuki ever released one. |

How do those happy trails boxes impact handling?
I've got home made Mermite Panniers on my nighthawk, wondered if I could use them on the DR. Little worried about the handling. I've read about tank slappers at speed.

@ southforkspeedster
I hope you can see on the pictures what I made. It is quite similar to distech DR. I took the seedmeter out and a vapor in. I use the rack from the lamp to hold my new construction for the screen and the cockpit. Have a look to the Distech rebuild also http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...=dr650&page=15 |
