If any of you need body parts for your KLR I have listed a bunch of BRAND NEW 2003 KLR parts on ebay, just go to the main page and type in KAWASAKI KLR, that will list everything I have. As many of you know, we convert the KLR for military use and as the bikes are uncrated we remove the parts that we don't use and replace them with our own, such as gas tanks, fairings, rad covers etc. as well as the shocks. We have designed our own shock just for the military KLR. The stock shock, although a very good OEM shock, is not really designed for the abuse the Marines give the bike, we initially used a well known aftermarket shock but we had many failures, breaking the shaft especially, so we came up with our own design that works exceptionally well. Dual Sport News is publishing an article on a road test of our shock in the June 2004 issue, the writer used the shock on his KLR over several hundred miles of dirt and farm roads and rough back country in Baja. Our website (www.f1engineering.com) has more on the shocks, the military conversions and of our new military project, the diesel engined KLR, (sorry guys, Military use only at this time).
