I was going to give you a nom de list of ButtDart, but Bob (if that is your real name) will have to do. I have Renthal Deserts, really happy with them. I filled them with urethane window sealant, and the difference in feel is very noticeable. Less vibration, feel more solid. Makes the bike feel heavier and more luxuuuurious. They also seem to be straighter that stock, and they may be a tad wider. As far as Dual Sporting the KLR 650, I have ridden with some very accomplished riders on the list, and I realise I have a ways to go before I can join their ranks, but I have taken part in 2 Dual Sport rides ( Malcolm Smith No Wimps Ride and Off Road for Hope 2000) and have been the only KLR at both of them. I assure you , I was the biggest bike at either of them, and I was also the only person that rode to and from both events. KLRs are a true Dual Sport, a capable road and trail machine, not some dirt bike with lights. CA Stu.> to the KLR using the universal kit? > > Bob D. > Formerly known as: BeemerBigDawg
