how much clearance between front fender and frame?

I don't think so. I had one of the supposedly better dual sport bikes for off road riding, the DRZ400s. So I figure I have an objective opinion for accessing the KLR. I love tearing up the trails with the beast so far. It seems to be planted better than the Z, that bike had some twitchy turning, and would wash out in the front alot, resulting in spills. I love the torque of the green monster, it really works well in the woods. I am thinking of going down a tooth in the front for the woods. I am a happy KLR camper. Ed A15

Uh-oh. Bent forks? If I remember from the stock setup, there might have been an inch or two from the back of the front fender to the downtube on the frame when the wheels were straight. It was pretty tight. Z DC
