Where you happy with it ? What did you do for front forks ? 
 Has anyone used the YSS rear shock ? Hyper pro rising rate front springs  ?
 
you may think you can, & you make think you can't... and you're right!!

Using the 465 and love it! Put in the progressive fork springs first, fork brace later. Nice difference both. The rear shock made the biggest difference, money well spent. My other two KLR's are stock, amazing difference. Did the exhaust cam adjust, much smoother engine now. Not more power that I can tell, a tiny bit better fuel economy. 45+/- to a solid 50 around town. The Saddleman seat was the best $ spent, after the rear shock. That all said, I still have two other bone stock KLR's. The thing is a very simple machine, probably best left at that. In my experience the only failures in long distance travel with the KLR have been in the mods. Mark H., list member, has serious miles on a stock KLR. When I serviced his machine upon return from Africa, I was shocked that the machine was stock! Not sure how he ever dealt with that seat. If I were to modify either of my other KLR's, the Saddleman seat is all I would do, and some LED lighting. The more crap you hang on them, the more work involved in service. The best advice I have ever read about 2 wheel travel is DO NOT modify anything prior to a trip. Have at least a couple months with the new idea before trusting it out there. Best thing to do is simply ride it.Vini,Vidi,Refici! [b]From:[/b] "chris kelly onephreeone@...
