[bulk] [dsn_klr650] stuck/unstuck

[Eddie]

8.5 pounds isn't bad at all! http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/accessories/acsubcontaineritems/5/536/2223/22106/all/1.aspx They make a specific mount for a Tenere (The second item). But, it doesn't need it to function. =) eddie PS: It's a 1700# winch. Not 1500# as I remembered. Even better!

There were the usual seats, windscreens, covers, bags, etc... It was the Warn winch that caught my eye, however. Yep. Yamaha sells an accessory winch and mounting plate for a motorcycle. At nearly 600 pounds, I wouldn't want to try and push a Super Tenere out of a stuck spot. Then again, I probably wouldn't take it that far into no man's land, either. But, a 1500# winch designed for use off a m/c battery might make one heck of a KLR farkle! =) -eddie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
