I am going in to pick up my KLR in a few days. a local dealer is getting
their first Kawasaki shipments in this week and the KLRs are do in soon.
When I am negotiating a price I would like to know what dealer invoice is.
On a car you can just go to autobytel or one of those sites. Where can I
find that for Bikes?
By the way, I'm new to the list. Sold my 1200gs a week ago and will pick up
a new KLR. I am having some neck surgery and wont ride much this year. Long
distance is out for quite some time. The Long Distance stuff was what the GS
was purchased for so now there is no reason to leave $16k sitting in the
garage. Always wanted a KLR and now I'm gettting one. I will be quietly
lurking for a while to get a feel for the list but really would like to save
some money when I go pick up the new bike

Why weld when you can buy a sink-no-bob. Look here http://www.sinknobob.net/%c2%a0 It works great and being made of rubber does not add any sharp metal edges.

I saw and fixed fried wiring on bass boats that were welded on
because the welder (person) attached the ground to the tansom and
then walked around welding things. As he moved towards the bow,
circuits were made back through the wiring to the ground clamp and
the current "smoked" all of the wiring along that path, and only that
path.
If you keep the ground clamp on the side stand shaft and lay
the "BigFoot" in the floor around the OEM foot and weld, you should
be OK (personal experience). You'll have to spray paint the side
stand shaft & foot anyway so make your ground connect as close as
possible to the foot.
