As I was cooking Sunday breakfast on the gas range this morning, a thought came over me : " Hey, I wonder if I could modify the tank and carb to be able to use LP gas on the Red Donkey ? " Possible ? Already done ? What would it take ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Hi Luc....if successful it would of course open the way to two I suspect new and very widly accepted items of farkle........of course that being the installation of a gas fired grill on the rear rack, not as good as charcoal but quicker to use on the trail and almost as importantly the chrome plated, handlebar mounted LP fueled bug killer. The down side would be a whole new meaning to blow job if the tank got ruptured in an accident........have a great day....Greg Luc Legrain wrote: As I was cooking Sunday breakfast on the gas range this morning, a thought came over me : " Hey, I wonder if I could modify the tank and carb to be able to use LP gas on the Red Donkey ?

You know, with the utilitarian looks of a KLR (2008 excluded), a welding tank or BBQ gas tank might not clash with our basic look. Criswell
