Project peer pressure ADV danger bike!

Standard ride to work photo. Other than an out of balance front tire she's running perfectly:

And I'm currently in the shed heavily modifying a set of Fastway pegs to replace the extremely uncomfortable stock skinnies:

Indeed!

Also machined down a male/male vent tube connector. Center drilled the steering top nut, press fit the tube into the nut, and it left a nice nipple to connect the vent tube to on the bike. It was driving me nuts just flipping around.

All this talk of "male/male", nuts and nipples makes me think you are getting ready to go meet a bunch of dudes in the backwoods of Kentucky.
 
Looks similar to what I did to the dirt bike recently. So much better.

That's it Jordan! I think you're even using the same $18 eBay/Amazon pegs I did!

mine were $25! I think i got ripped off! They were for a YZ, little cutting, grinding, and drilling and they fit right up
 
This thing makes me smile.
Well done good sir!
Now ride it up to TN and lets go for a ride.
I've got some trails that will really test her out 8)

I think these were listed for a DR650. Same story, had to do a little modification but now they're great! And yeah I didn't want to tell you, but you got screwed.

That's not that far fetched of an idea my friend...
 
i modified my kdx200 pegs back in 87 just added a 3rd row at the back
of course buying them ready made is the way to go but they are not optomized until you change the platform slightly ,
when you are sharpening them up to pointy teeth,you want to grind down the front and rear rows ,so the center is slightly taller
this especially helps when up on the pegs weight back steep downhills your boot arch soul maintains 2 rows of grip instead of rocking back to a single row
conversedly when up on the pegs and climbing

Kentucky proven, Alabama modified. Immediately redesigned the rear suspension with an Ohlins unit, added panniers, and changed the rear fender when I got home. Better than ever and is a monster where you point it. Love this bike!

Of course it retained the mitt. It stays until the next bike needs it!

When I was in Kentucky I dropped the bike a few times in the woods pushing the limits of my capabilities. In doing so, I noticed an inherent bit of stupidity about the bark buster type bars included with the Acerbis vision handguards. They only had one attachment point and effectively just served to hold the plastic guards to the bike. Needless to say when I dropped it they bent like a wet noodle and I had to pry them back open in order to use the levers again. I finally got a good deal on a pair of Meier bark busters off of my local bike breaker that he said came from a Yamaha ATV. All I really cared about was that they were made for 7/8 bars which is what I'm running. Here's a comparison of the goofy Acerbis version on the left and the "new" Maier's on the right:

Everything was pretty straight forward except the Renthal bars have a pretty small internal diameter being a thick walled bar. The inner "clamp" that came with the guards was too big since it was made for a bar with a much bigger inner diameter. Basically I had to chuck up the inner clamps and machine them down this much:

But in the end they went on smoothly and the vision hand guards went right back on as they should :

Also since I carry part of my tool kit on the front fender in a fender bag I found a nifty little fender brace made of 1/8 alloy plate on eBay for $10. Took a chance, re-drilled a few holes, and now it is pretty darn sturdy!

that bike is awesome i really stuck my fucking foot in mouth way earlier ,i like the rear bumper rail that will be handy yarding the once clean machine out of a muddy crik :)
and it sure strengthens up the entire structure and here i go again but it looks like it is in the path of the rear tar ?
that would suck to tear that beautiful work up
i still think you guys should mount bright as spots on the helmet they are awesome and really open up the fun factor at night
 
Looking good Kiley, top notch too. This bike can take on the world now!
