If you have the radiator guards already, would the heavy duty tank guards from
www.klr650.com be overkill?

The KLR650's tank plastic panels & fuel tank are extremely vulnerable
& expensive. Protecting the cooling system is an admission to the
fack of being structually weak. I replaced mine with the IMS
military tank to have a much tougher system & to protect the cooling
system. Having tested this several times off road, I can vouch that
the IMS tank is extremely durable (but not pretty).
If you decide to keep the OEM tank & panels, some sort of VERY heavy-
duty tank guard is needed if you go off road. When a top heavy KLR
goes down, it can smack very hard on the tank panels and/or tank
corners.

I got my cable a while back and had to "massage" it to get the proper angle at the lever end too. No big deal as I've accepted that a "bolt-on" usually isn't, regardless of the application. Besides, I always enjoy a chance to use my favorite tool...a hammer.
I was completely amazed at what a diffeence that cable made in the clutch pull. Wow.
