I think you are referring to the stuff that sits down below the petcock. Yes, it's silly. The only way to really get to that would be to bounce around a bunch, or stand the bike up on end.

FYI for any one else:
Flasher
This is what I got, LED's Flash at normal rate.

I used one of these. Unpin the DRZ harness, unpin this plug, then plug them together.

Hi all! Sorry for my spanglish.
Here are some pics from my DRZ-E. Is my second DRZ. The first was a second hand bike but I fell in love with it: strong, reliable, versatile… I use it in both enduro and adventure trips (Morocco, Portugal…). So, when a year ago I found a new one in a Suzuki dealer (probably the last new DRZ in Spain) I was for it.
I have also a Yamaha Super Ténéré 1200 so with this two bikes I have all the off road possibilities. I know: I’m lucky guy!!

This is the enduro version

And in a couple of hours work it can be transformed in an adventure bike: bigger tank, more confortable seat, auxiliary lights, the DRZ-S transmission, luggage rack…

Could you tell me about your ortlieb tank bags?
How do they attach?
Thanks!

That IS a nicely set up E model,Ive got one in the flea market for sale with much the same setup and very fresh.
Much time and money invested in it.

Wunderlich sell them for the GSA. I share it with the two bikes. The system is very simple and effective, some plastic pieces attached to the bike "clips" into the ortlieb. I'm using it to carry the spare tubs and tools for punctures
Hope you can see it in the pic

Saw a new DRZ sitting next to a new DL650 adventure (or whatever they call it) at the dealer yesterday when I was getting parts. Both were black. Very nice looking combination.

The (US) 'E' model isn't available any more, is it?

(Or, at least I think it's gone. If not gone, it's a pale imitation of the original.)

You probably know this, but I'd be concerned about those plastic shrouds bearing any significant weight.

I think so. This was an S model.

Yeah, I was when I bought it for the GSA. But after several rides with both bikes I can tell you they are stronger than it looks.
Even in a crash the ortlieb goes out but you can fix it again without damage.
As I said I'm using them to put not very heavy stuff and stronger or flexible enough to not to be spoil in the crashes as they are very exposed.

In Spain (and I think in the rest of Europe) both, S and E models are not available since 2007.

Looks like the E is no more in NA
So is it possible to make the 450 street legal, I have my doubts

In TX I can plate anything on 2 wheels. A lot of other states over here are similar.
