Hi, I am looking to buy a replacement fuel tank for my 89 KLR. I have seen one made by acerbis for a 93-onward KLX will this fit?? If not does anyone else know a source of tanks??. While i am here does anyone know of an aftermarket replacement for the rear end?? i want to make it look a bit slimmer and a bit more MX style...I know there is no accounting for taste!!!!!.. Cheers mark

KLX's are totally different beasts. Assume that most parts are NOT interchangeable between the bikes. IMS makes both 5.5gal and 7.1gal rotomolded plastic tanks for the KLR650 for about $200. If you look around the files and photos sections I think there might still be pics of a KLR with an Acerbis enduro style tail piece on it. It's doable, but will require a lot of bodging as no one makes a direct replacement. Z DC A2 A5 A11

I honestly cant think of a reason to have a GPS myself, if im lost... im lost and there will not be any trails mapped out on the GPS to follow, so it seems pointless, my watch has a small compass on it (if I could just find that darn thing) during daylight sun up in the east and down to the left, if I know what direction I was going, just reverse course till I find a road or something. Thats for me anyway, maybe if I fished alot I could use it then, but since I sold my boat few years back, it would be pointless to me to spend money on, just like this PocketPC.. at least dont have to carry a deck of cards to play solitaire.
