[Stormy Deluge]

Hello, I just picked up my new KLR yesterday and I'm super excited! I've been browsing the webpages of owners and discovered about $1000 in mods I'd like to make. Any advice on whether or not I should lower my KLR would be appreciated, as a center stand is my first requirement. I'm 5'7" and its a challenge to back up as my toes just barely touch the ground! Also, this may be a silly question, but should I buy some kind of a lock for my bike? I park it in the alley behind my apartment in downtown Minneapolis. Thanks for your help.

Buy a heavyduty cable or chain and lock the KLR to a unmovable object such as a tree or street light post. Makes it harder for someone to throw the cycle in a truck. Put a high visibility lock on the front disc rotor to prevent someone from riding it away but be aware that you need a foolproof system to remind you to remove the front disc lock before riding. And buy a dowco cover to keep the bike out of sight. Keep it covered at all times so its not noticed. Get theft insurance.

Install a Clymore mine to the bike, use a mercury trigger. Dont forget to disarm it b4 riding.

Also, purchase a trained attack dog to guard it, one that won't get all friendly if thrown a hunk of meat or a toy. And park it in the kitchen with a hidden wire connecting the bike to your stoves 240 outlet. Don't forget to shut off the current before riding.

I guess it depends on the "neighborhood" but it sounds like a lock might be a good idea. There's even ubolt or disc locks some that have audible alarms that sound if tampered with. Also I cover over the bike offers more protection than you might expect. Out of sight, out of mind I suppose.

29 May'01/Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Gino, I found a link to the picture of your? KLR. Where did you get the twin light fairing?, is it still available and how much would it hurt my wallet.
