Well Dave, ....amazing where one can bump into folks they know. Good to know I'm in the best of company. I notice that I'm not the only Airmarshal in attendance either. ;' > I haven't crossed over yet, but I'm doing some research. Love my GSPD, but am finding it a bit of a load to pull out of the bushes by myself these days. I'm looking into something a bit lighter and even more off road oriented. The KLR 650 seems to have the history, aftermarket wares and community that I so greatly appreciate with airhead BMW's. This list seems well attended and well spoken, and I'm picking up the kind of info that I'm looking for. Haven't seen a good seat thread yet though. What's the cats ass's preference in KLR650 seating? Russell? The stock seat I've sat on seems way to narrow for all day comfort. Dennis W Blaine WA

Well... I don't know about the cat's arse.... ;~) Russell Day Long makes a good seat - too fancy for me. Sargent allegedly makes a good seat, but every one for the KLR is custom and different. There have been a number of posts about modifying the stock seat. Looks pretty easy and is very inexpensive. I've tried the Corbin flat seat. Very good improvement over stock. I just installed Corbin's newest seat for the KLR - http://www.corbin.com/kawasaki/klrhpyt.shtml - and think even the cat would like it. I've only got about 200 miles on it, but really think it's hot stuff!!! The curve up at the back gives good back support, and the Corbin seats mold to your own individual buttocks over time. Doesn't have any tendency to pinch "the boys" as has been reported by some on their "dished" seat. Hope I don't sound like a commercial, but I really do like the seat!!! My buddy and I are headed off on Sept 8 for as much of the the Great Divide Ride we can do from south to north in a little over a week. I'll be able to tell you a whole lot more about the seat on or after Sept 17. Regards, Chuck

Just rode in from the dealer getting my 600 mile service. They didn't have any of the factory bags available yet. I was looking at the Kawi Tail bag. I am exploring my farkle options, and asked the dealer how much the side panels and radiator cost for replacement parts - Dealer quoted me 150 a side on the plastic, and 600 for a replacement radiator. Bags went down on the priority and a set of Happy Trails nerf bars moved up.
