Why not post it up I guess? Its more of a farklification and light modification than a full on "build", but what the heck. It's winter and I'm getting bored.
I missed my dr650 terribly. Figured I'd try out the Kawasaki flavor of big thumper dual sports. So enters the 2002 KLR 650.
Doohickey done, fork brace, comfort seat, progressive suspension, Lexx slip on, supposed 685 kit, windshield and 29k miles on the ticker.
Picked it up from a pretty cool fella 35 min from my house. Never know what kinda dude you'll run into buying a KLR
She's plenty rough around the edges, its had a less than stellar paint job done to it at some point and has the usual stickers stuck on it. Paint will likely be re-done over the winter anyhow, so I'm not to worried about it.
It's gonna be a daily beater as well as what I ride from Chattanooga to the Ozarks and back on the Trans American Trail this June (more on that to come).
