Last November I bought a leftover 2007 DL650 fully intending to sell my 2004 KLR650 with 20k miles. I didn't get around to cleaning up the KLR and putting a new battery and rear tire and doing general pre-sale prep until a few weeks ago. After taking a few rides I remembered what I enjoy so much about the KLR and decided not to sell it. So while I really enjoy the VStrom I've started mixing in the KLR for local riding, and it is going to become a platform for transporting my mountain bike to the trails once I weld up a rack.

Mike, there was a guy selling racks for bicycle (and kayak among other strange items) transport on KLR's a looooong time ago on this list. Maybe someone else recalls the link??? Or maybe you want to weld your own in which case, carry on. da Vermonster

Asked the kids did I get a package and they all yelled NO, went to get the mail and tripped over the HUGE tires sitting on the front door stoop! To the non-expert they look sturdy enough and will get the wheels off Friday night and drop the off to be installed over the weekend! Hoping to get more than the 4K miles the stock rubber has delivered to me! I have started noticing a wee bit of bald tire feeling during a recent wet period!
