Fred (or anyone else who may know), Are the main harnesses the same for all the 87-07 KLR's including Tengai? I know of someone who has a ubrnt up harness in his Tengai. -David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

You should probably set it as high as you can get it for two-up. The stock shock is a little weak. You only turn it clockwise. If you go past the highest setting, it drops back down. You'll know it when you feel it. If I was you I'd just set it on the highest setting but check it every once in a while. Mine would actually reset itself. I have no idea why. I bought a Progressive shock. Expensive, but nice. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================
