Couple of questions:
1. How is the 'Tengai' different from the KLR. I know it's no longer an option, but when it was available - was it just a different fairing?
2. Anyone managed to secure a good deal on a new KLR from a Denver/Colorado dealer? So far, Fay Myers seems to be best at $4999 out the door, but that's still $500 than my ideal.
Cheers.

Paradise Motorsports in Pueblo had the best prices in the state when
I was looking. Make sure you ask for Tim. I wound up buying a
gently used 1999 model with 950 miles on it from a guy in Longmont.
I like the color better and he let me have it for $3800 including
saddle bags, tank bag and a tail bag.

Actually, it still is an option at:

Here's a list of differences:
bigger fairing, made of abs painted white metal flake in the US
low front fender, made of abs painted white metal flake in the US
stiffer, thicker-walled forks
twin-piston front caliper with 20mm greater diameter disc
nicer gauges
tricker looking skidplate
nicer passenger peg mounts with built-in protection for rear brake
master cylinder
larger headlight
ninja turnsignals
front and rear brake caliper and disc covers

stem bearing tightening long

Great job explaining the steering stem tightening. After spending many days
writing and rewriting my valve check/adjustment video script you seem to have
written your explaination effortlessly. Great job, A+
I've got about 20 people on the list for the valve video. Once again I
apologise for this taking so long. Not only do we have perfect weather here
(Boston area) but work has gotten busy. Just pretend I'm a general
contractor working on your house. I'll keep promising I'll show up and
finish the job but I never really do. I'll give myself another week.
I'll probably get my ass kicked on that last comment. No offense to the
timely, hard working, general contractors out there. You can all make fun of
my job now, I work in audio visual. Nothing scares a woman faster than
saying you do AV for a living.
