Hello Everyone, I just bought a brand new KLR650-C. I am new to the
Dual-purpose world. I pick the bike up the end of may. I have to take
the motorcycle course first. the bike is only marketed in
Canada,Europe and I think in Australia. I would like to get a new
rear-rack and side-racks for it. the footpeg brackets are different
on the klr650-c than the klr650-a. the bracket on the 650-c appears
to be welded on and the 650-a is bolted. so there are no bolts or
holes to attach to. the plastic on the back of the bike is a little
different also. the holes dont seem to line up to allow the use of
the 650-a racks. I spoke to the head distributor of parts for
Kawasaki Canada. he said the 650-a outsells the 650-c by ten to one
on Canada so they do not market anything for it. I want to get this
baby ready to roll by spring. I dont want to be driving down the QEW
with Rubbermaid Rufftotes bungee corded to the back of my bike.They
might match the colour of the bike but thats all. If any
Canadian,European or Austrailians read this maybe you can give me
some help. thank you. Robert
