My 2005 KLR always has a least one milk crate on the back. Since
I use my KLR all winter long (Pennsylvania) I was wondering if I
could take the small stock battery out, put a plastic battery case
in the crate, add a bigger 12 volt battery to that case and then
use proper gauge wire to connect it to where the wires are
under the seat.
As far as milk crates go, I have had 3 high stacked on the back when
I go for some groceries.

Could if you want too, went on a Rumble ride "once" and one of the
riders had a really crappy Honda 750 made into abortion Chopper that
used a Jumppack as its battery bugeed to the sissy bar.

Tom,
I would like to see that stack!
Long time poster/lurker "Devon" of NYC posted a pic some 5 years ago
that showed his winterized KLR stacked at least 3+feet tall (yes, and
a snow drift in the background) with groceries--and judging from the
pictures, he had small children, or some other unidentified need for
pampers!

Can anyone identify the music in the last half of the video? I'd like to know who did it.
