two questions.

Oh heck, after the fireworks, we all decided that all cowlings/windshields that are not plum require the owner to stop riding and trade in the bike for an A19. (Grin) My A16 has been in touch w/ mother earth more than once - easy correction VIA FORCE. The rest of ya who are troubled by the 'incredible' issue of an ajar cowling/windshield must by a new A19 through a really bad dealer ( HARHARHAR). Seriously, the support framework for the cowling/shield is mild steel tubing. Just bend it.

Any ideas. Howard A-18

My 2004 and a friends both had the fairing crooked, but to the left. If you loosen the two front bolts that hold the fairing frame to the bike frame ( directly in front of the serial # decal on the right side of bike),you can move the fairing a small amount. If someone else holds the front wheel tightly, you can pull hard on the fairing and then retighten the bolts. Mine is still a couple of degrees off center, but there was no more play. And then I too had a few more beers and didn't care. Steve To straighten the fairing on my 04 I just held the front wheel with my knees and gave the fairing a jerk in the direction it needed to go. Dennis A18 the Big Red 1 Hey I have beers. I'll try these ideas also, Howard A-18 OK I did the two bolt thing and it straitened right up. Now where is my beer? Howard A-18

is my beer? Howard A-18 Mine appears, as if by magic, from my stash of aging homebrew in the crawlspace. I now realize, courtesy of Devon, that my by products can be turned into plastic weld ! I don't know if he recommends a 3 or 4 bottle piss for cooling fans. I would expect a dark brew would match my red KLR better than, say, a Pilsener ? Anytime you feel like popping over, ( it's probably 1000's of miles ) Howard, your beer awaits. Steve

Burnouts on a KLR? Yep, as long as it is on dirt. Criswell Douglas Dick wrote:
