I'd like to see a photo or two. We currently have Parabellums. Thanks.

"'06 DR 650, 835 miles now......since I got the bike, it makes this strange sound.....only does it occasionally, a loud metalic clunk / pop. Just one time...during a 45 minute ride it may do it 2 or 3 times. Here is the really weird part - I was sitting in my garage reading the DR manual, the bike was right next to me, and it made the sound, while it was sitting still, not running, and has done ...

only change I see is black side panels here it is http://www.suzukicycles.com/products/DR650SEK9

First things, first: Thanks to mx_rob for the awesome idea of putting a GSXR1000 muffler on a DR650. Who'da thunk it? Great idea!! Most of the ideas came from mx_rob's thread here: http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=621 199 Here's my thread on the life of the laser cut stainless steel flanges (another idea of rob's that turned out to be a pretty good deal for a few ...

Here's my '06 Knobbied up. I'm thinking about making the Motard Change.

I have sat on three different KLR650s in the past few days. It feels a little big. I have yet to sit on a DR650 because all the dealers are waiting for the 09's to come in. Apparently that could happen tomorrow, or next month. Three different dealers have my number and will call me when one arrives. This was funny. I asked a Kawasaki salesman at a dealership about the 'doo hickey' issue. ...

I'll just build on this slide show on my web site .

That is the rack I was going to put on my DR but found a Ventura rack system on ebay that I think is very cool (but a bit more expensive). The Ventura rack allows you to swap out from a sport rack, grab bar or high back (for long rides to hold packs and such) and works very well. http://www.ventura-bike.com/products...ype=PackSys tem

I was kinda getting annoyed by the big floppy duckbill on my 2008 Suzuki DR200SE and was wondering if anybody knew if the front fender off a '08 DRZ400SM would fit. I like the sharp look of that fender and how it doesn't flop around of get crooked under its own weight. Thanks

In the shop at 8:00am this morning.... The side stand switch got lost first, and the 2 wires jumped out, solderred, and heat shrinked. Then small stuff like passenger pegs started dissappearing, the rear wheel came off, the shock linkage was taken out, cleaned, and re-greased... And when the linkage was reassembled, and Eibach spring found...

Guys/Gals interested in the 96-08 DR650 GSXR1000 Muffler mod worked up by mx_Rob, I am going to make an order with a "local" precision cutting company to get some of these flanges made from 304 stainless steel. They'll fit the GSXR1000 muffler; I don't know what else they'll work with. I'm planning on getting 20 made this time, and have been quoted $201.00 plus tax for the lot. I'll figure my...

Can't get that wheel up... O.K. I'll start off with this disclaimer..I know that wheelies are not the best indicator of performance or rider intellect. That being said it seems like every other post I read mentions a DR650's front wheel coming up with the blip of the throttle. Mine is a 99, stock carb, no snorkel, 14T counter sprocket operating at about 4800'. Are serious mods required to loft ...
