I put an Acerbis Tecnik on my A19. It really improved the wind problem and isn't big and ugly. I will post a picture this weekend but for now, here is the website: http://www.acerbis.com/p149_universal/167660.html --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "tucsonfiremedic" wrote:

I put a Acerbis KTM fender on the other day. Works great, and looks much better. http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7879&highlight=ktlmr I like the Tecnik fender to.

There is a lot of info on how to do it online. Lay the bike on it's right side and it's significantly easier than doing it with the bike standing, and you won't have to drain the oil. I did my doohickey with the bike standing but didn't change the spring, and it took me 45 minutes. I did it the *second* time a couple of days later to change the spring (yes, I am an idiot for thinking it was okay to leave the original spring in) laying the bike on it's side and the whole thing took something like 20 minutes, including consumption of one fine Black Toad beer. There is something to be said for having already done a procedure once, so you might become the local expert/reference afterwards (which can't be a bad thing, right?). BTW, if somebody's in West-Central Indiana or East-Central Illinois and either wants help with it or wants to borrow the tools, let me know...

traffic on doing the "do". Is the procedure difficult or easy, I am a newbie to the KLR 650- world and am trying to learn all I can at the same time I don't want to get in over my head. Is the procedure a one man job or should someone that has done it before be overlooking my shoulder. I have never been inside of a bike engine before. Any tips or pointers that you experienced fellows can assist me with? I just want to ride the bike. Are there Tech Sessions around Dallas, Texas.
