Hi all. Well the Beemer found a new home scratches and all, so it was time to find a new mount that was a bit more offroad capable. After much searching I found a 2004 DR650 in Melbourne that was the right price. Bike has only done 12000 Ks, Eibach rear spring, Carby Jet Kit, Airbox mods, 14 tooth sprocket from Keintech in the US (as well as a new spare one), as new rear sprocket, Gold O-ring chain, forks modified with larger spacers to improve rebound, aftermarket handlebars, heated grips as well as a Ventura bag and rack. Scored a few extra parts with it, and came back from Melbourne with a new Shark helmet (been wanting one for ages), a Forcefield back protector and some Acerbis Rally Pro hand protectors. Cant wait to get it dirty!
Pics will follow, I just need to set up a smug mug account.

Cheers,

Daz.

Ok here goes. This is my first time posting pics here so fingers crossed......The little red outline box on the last pic shows the heated handgrip switch location.

Its a Mitas (czech republic) E-07. Just had it out on dirt for the first time yesterday and i have to say it is a very confidence boosting tyre! Awesome grip. On road it is sticky and I can't fault it. Really suits this bike.

Hey Andreas, have the same pair of tires in the shed. Got it from the importer and decided to do so after a fair bit of research. You are more than welcome to mail me for his contacts. Nice guy.
Have not much life left in the Dunlops Trailmaster and didn't like them at all. 3000 klicks and all is gone... Might be the anatomie of my right wrist too...
Cheers, Andreenduro

Bloody awesome looking bike mate and a whole lot of great "add ons".
Congratulations and heaps of fun.
What's the front as it is obviously not the Mitas ?
Cheers, Andreenduro
