All: (Regretably) I'm parting with my 98 KLR. I live in Oakland, CA. It's got 9k miles, needs the 9K service. All regular maintenance done by dealer. Never crashed; great condition (a few scratches here and there; it has been ridden offroad (about 2.5% of time). Steel brake line, Moose bash plate, Acerbis handguards, UFO low fender, Tim Bernard's side racks, PIAA bulb, Progressive fork springs, bike odometer, Avon gripster rear, with an unused, unmounted gripster front. One owner. Could include full set of Kawasaki soft luggage (tail, tank and saddle bags). Also, spare tube bag with tire irons, spare tube. Owner's manuals and both Kawasaki service manuals. $3750. Either email me, or call my cell at 510-697-6069 and leave message. Rob Gendreau

I tried many solutions to the bar vibration issue, but since I've installed my Tusk handguards, my hands don't tingle any more... Just my $.02 worth.. Ron in MN --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "dumbazz_650" wrote:
