Just a little background about my KLR.

Well had my KLR for the past year. It's a 09 new style of the 20+ year old design. So far only did a few mods to the bike. Installed a larger windscreen from Zero Gravity windscreens. Much nicer. The wind hits high now compared to the stock screen. Makes for a nicer ride. Chopped the stock KLR front fender beak off with my Dremel. Feels more stable at higher speeds and during the summer allows more air into the radiator to keep it engine temp down. Added Acerbis hand guards from the stock non protective windsails they are. Changed the front sprocket from the 15 tooth to the 16 tooth. Heck of a lot better ride on the road now and still enough to take me off the beaten path. A nice size Pelican top case bolted directly on the rack. Waterproof, lockable, and holds a bunch o' stuff. Took all the stock Kawi decals off and started putting cool random decals on. If anyone has any awesome decals to send me. Shoot me an E-mail (combatmedic777@yahoo.com). My idea of a paint job for this bike is decals every inch of the bike. Have the stuff for the "Doo" upgrade. Just haven't done it yet. Bad me. Have the materials to install a 12v outlet and have yet to install that too. Still this bike is a work in progress and mighty fun. Probably have done more stuff, but it escapes my mind right now. BTW Great on GAS!
