I want a picture. (of the fall)I think the 14t gave him low end without lugging the motor. Many bikes today are geared for cruising not riding.
I'm gonna have to stop by some time and check out the new builds in person.I like seeing the posts but nothing beats seeing first hand.There both looking good...Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I like that center stand Don, pretty cool piece. Now as far as that tank, I have been eyeing a couple as I would like extended range. The one I'm looking at is a 4 gal in place of the stock 2. I also think that they make a six but seems a bit overkill as I have that large rear rack I can add more fuel to as well. Other than the paint failing are you happy with this mod?
As for the tank coloring, I can do a couple of things. 1. I could purchase another black or gray tank2. I could fashion a cover for it from OD or cammo colored material and do a Molle thing where I could attach pouches as I saw fit.
Center stands are worth their weight in gold when you need em. Nice looking stand. Plus the additional weight is about as low as you can go!Funny, my understanding was the paint would adhere is painted before you you put fuel in it. Live an learn. Maybe someone could make a vinyl overlay for that?

Use the tank that's on there to try out your Molle idea. If it doesn't turn out, then you can still use it as a spare.
Yea, I like the Molle idea.Don't think anyone has done that yet
Quote from: Flyin6 on December 17, 2015, 10:28:45 AMYea, I like the Molle idea.Don't think anyone has done that yetOnly thing I can think of is the pouches MIGHT interfere with the bars when you go to turn and you really crank on it, depending on the pouches. Just a thought.
Don, you kinda confirmed my suspicions that 4 gal is a large enough tank up front.......
Keep em down low

Boy if that ain't the ticket.....This will hold my scanner perfectly ;)http://tankvest.3dcartstores.com/assets/images/tv/klr650ims/tvp5.jpg
Shawn,Mike should be showing up in the intro section.He hasn't done a DR650 with the Acerbis tank, I think, but he has a way.I'll let him clarify, but he can get the tank dimensions then build a cover.That would open the door to other models as well. Anyway, we'll get to see it first hand getting developed for the DR

Also... Was thinkingThis project is needing a nameI've had a few thoughts about a name for this bike"Scout" comes to mind, as in Army scoutAnother is "Steamer" because of the ancient steam powered engineOf course, we are already using just "DR" so that's a possibilityHmmm...
Don, Since "Scout" is already used...."Donor Sled" is available? That's what my Dr. buddies call them...all the good organs come from motorcycle riders....

Donor meaning I can "borrow" it to play with when I visit the farm..... ;)
Looking at a Clark 4 gal tank for the 2015 WR450F, have you done this tank before? If not can I drop ship to you?
