nklr: klx 650, recommendations for skid plates, rear rack, and he l

[Ed Boyd]

Hey gang,   I'd like to know if anyone has recommendations for skid plates, rear racks, and helmets for the KLX. I have a '96 KLX 650R (dirt model). I'd like to find a beefy skid plate that will protect the water pump and allow access to the 2 drain plugs. For the rack, I know the dual sport KLX has a rack, and it looks like it should bolt right on my model (see Kawasaki's excellent online parts site: http://www.buykawasaki.com).   Anyone have an extra KLX rack lying around they want to part with, or know of any aftermarket racks that bolt right on?   I'm also thinking of getting an off road helmet. I own a couple of nice Arai street helmets, and would like to get a helmet that I can wear goggles with out in the the dirt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks,   Ed   ps: posted same to the KLX list.

Thanks, Ben

You buy them both. The 600 motor is mostly the same as the 650 so the base manual covers that. Everything else is different and in the 650 supplement. It sucks but you realy have to get both of 'em -Tom '96 KLR 650
