newbie (?) with questions...

["Swede"]

Can anyone tell me if there's a MuZ dealer in Colorado or New Mexico? The "Panther" series looks nice, BUT I have to actually see and ride to know if I'm gonna like one or not. That Yammy 660 sure looks appetizing. "Swede" [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Thanks for the advice on the electrics. I plan on leaving the bike basically stock for the first year or so, except for tip-over protection and a front brake hose. I have never regretted buying (and using) safety gear, whether for myself or my motorcycle. I have the aerostich vest, which is rated at 45w, and I have used HotGrips on my SR500. These are about 30w, how do they compare to the Kimpex (can't switch them to the KLR so I'm buying new...)? Thanks, Devon Jarvis jake binkley wrote:
