Tank Vest has a MOLLE type gas tank cover for KLR650 gas tanks that allows you to attach pouches like the bike in the link. http://www.tankvest.com/ ________________________________ From: fw189uhu To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 10:39 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] NKLR: If You REALLY Want A Bug-Out Bike . . . http://soldiersystems.net/2012/10/23/ausa-christini-motorcycles/ Still like my KLR for EVERYTHING I want or plan to do, though.
