Have any of you all tried this to avoid bum fatigue during long rides,
put a Stearns Comfort Ride ATV Seat Cover from Wally Mart on the stock
KLR seat, then cover that with an Alaska Leathers? The total cost
would be about $125, or less. Any input on why this is a good or bad
idea would be appreciated.

You could probably find a used Corbin for that price.

While you could probably get a used Corbin for that price, try to find
one! I've heard that the Wally world cover works fine. I don't know
about covering it. With a bit ofd practice, I think you can cover it
yourself. Its just stapled in the bottom of the plastic seat pan.
C'mon, lets get into some DIY here.--- In

I've ordered 3 of 4 sprockets in the balancer ecosystem. For mental
health reasons, I'm going to assume the crankshaft sprocket is like-
new. Well, it looks like-new, damn it! ha ha I'm going to take
measurements for future purposes and the benefit of listas. I'll have
a baseline for future at least. I don't know what the specs of a new
crankshaft balancer sprocket is unfortunately. The price of a new on
is $301.
Now, even though I'm going with 75% new sprockets, I'm going to use my
existing balancer chain. A new one is $210 and mine is well within
spec (measured stretch test: 190-190.5mm new, mine 191.5mm, service
limit 193.5mm). The "old" logic was to replace sprockets and chain as
a set. I doubt this is the case here.
