My dealer threw in a tank and tail bag. Has anyone using the Kaw tank
bag had problems with mud/dirt getting under the bra and wearing the
paint? Also it doesn't look like the stretch fabric will hold up for
long. How long have you had yours?

I've had mine for a year. Some very slight scuffing on the tank, nothing
serious. From time to time when the bike gets real muddy or dusty, I remove
the bag and wash it out. Fabric/seams etc. holding up perfectly so far.

What?! You still have an unscratched KLR?
You need to go outside and knock your KLR over into a mud puddle, then
wipe it off with some 100grit sand paper

And yes, the stock tank bag, IMO, is POS. It's a nice tank bra and
that's about it. The map pocket is useless and dangerous (try reading a
map in it while doing 60+mph). Marsee and Wolfman make much nicer ones
that aren't that much more expensive.

nklr: game warden klr vs atv

While riding my KLR through Dawson City, Yukon
Territories 2 summers ago, I saw what was apparently
legal use of ATV's in town (all dirt roads). I also
saw a guy get pulled-over on his ATV. I don't know
what he had done, but earlier I saw him tearing around
and looking over his shoulder

As far as ATV's being street-legal, are they very
stable at high speeds on pavement? Maybe using some
sort of ATV "Gripster?" I've only tried the 2-wheel
drives in sand.
