questions about the a10 and newer bikes

Can anyone here offer any feed back on the nerf bar bracket happy trails offers to protect the radiator? It also come with footpegs and is listed at $260 on there web site. Easy install? Durable? Does it offer good protection?

Most people report easy installation of their PD nerfs. Pluses: Good protection, look cool, and offer plenty of handholds: more is better if you are on your ass in a puddle with your bike in your lap. OTOH, an IMS military tank for $225 doesn't need to be protected, itself protects the radiator and coolant tank, and adds 50 miles to your range. Wear a belt and suspenders? Get 'em both. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "snowwwolfie" wrote:

I bought one because my friends convinced me I would drop the bike (hasn't happened yet) because I was a new rider. It was a 5 minute install. The highway pegs let you move your feet to a new position. It looks like taking the radiator cap off might be a royal pain in the ass - but I haven't tried this yet - one of it's bars virtually touch the radiator cap on the top - so I'm not sure if I'll be able to take it off with removing the nerf bars. I'll try it tonight and let you know. I'll let you know what happens when I drop the bike. -ben --- snowwwolfie wrote:

I'm looking at picking up a used klr650 this summer, but I'm a bit confused from some of the research I've been doing. It looks like ~1996 some upgrades were made to the clutch basket and the stator/charging system. The electrical upgrade is important to me, since I'm hoping to use some heated grips in the winter and possibly a GPS in the summer. Another accessory or two may come along, and I'd rather have the more powerful system. Is it the 1996 model that starts these upgrades? I guess it's the A10? Any advice on what to look for/ask about to protect myself when buying would be greatly appreciated. thanks, John
