Nice...I like the new look of the KLR! Are those headlight stock?

So my buddy Dave and I finally finished the transformation
of his 98 KTM Adventure....It took a couple of days and
an outsourcing to a local Rhino Liner dealer
but it turned out cool!


BEFORE:

PREP

AFTER

We sent the luggage racks and the side stand out
to get powder coated in a matte black, but it's not back yet...

Check back...I will post it again when we have those back on the bike.

Too bad the racks are not easy to put on and take off.
I think it looks more sporty with them off!

Rhino liner?:laughing It did the job (I was thinking of an Adventurer but couldn't do the orange.)

Nice!

Did you paint it as well...or does the XR650L come in black because I think I have seen others in black...maybe not...?
What's the make and volume of the tail case your using?

I'd like to do a camping trip sometime soon...does anyone have any suggestions of where to go...somewhere that has great wooded trails and camping available?

Mendocino National Forest

Had a chance to do some Black Diamonds on the OHV trails their! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to ride that lives in the Bay Area!

We decided to stay around Lake Pillsbury at a camp site that overlooked the lake....Nice!

Geek; this forum doesn't do HTML. Copy the URL then paste it in the window after you push the "insert picture" button. You'll see the right code after you do in case you want to do your own coding.

How about "none of the above"? Aren't these dirtbike parks? What about offroad adventures? Or even dirt road adventures? Mendocino National Forest?

I'm new here, but not new to dirt/dual sport or Adventure riding. I was wondering how many posts would go by before someone pointed out that most of the "choices" on the poll are not great for dual sport. The obvious choice for SF folks, as Slide pointed out, in MNF. Georgetown area is good if you know it, but lots of it is very tough on a big single. I know, I ride my WR250F there quite a bit. I would be careful on my DR650 there. :teeth

Boney and SlideSF covered that on page 1.
