klr super motard

[nakedwaterskier]

I lost my rear brake lever/pedal, mounting bracket and rear master cylinder to a large rock that attacked my KLR. I added the green stronger mounting bracket afterwards. Mark has a wire on his to hold his brake lever/pedal so it cannot be torn away and take other parts with it. However, nothing I have seen would have saved my front half of my rear brake system from the impact. My skidplate did save my waterpump though. Jeffrey aka naked red04

Hi To all, I am a new memeber of the group but not to KLR'S. I am on my 5th and cannot survive without one. I have a BMW GS Adventure and a Suzuki DRZ 400 S but will still pick the KLR out of the lot for a pleasure ride. I have laced up 17's to a spare set of hubs. 3.50 up front and 4.25 on the rear. New rotors front and rear from Brembo. Am I likely to have any problems with clearance with tires? I have yet to mock up o the bike and am looking at Avon150/R17 in the back with Avon120/R17 up front. Has anyone done this combo yet and am I likely to have any problems that I am not seeing yet? Thanks for any info your can help with. Bob Matkin
