    Great Mods! I'm definitely getting the kickstand pad! Like you I'm budget conscious and slowly adding things to my 22' KLR Adventure. I have the Tusk Foot Pegs, Tusk Shift lever, 3D Cycle Adjustable Windscreen Risers, Tusk Handlebar Risers, Attack tank knee pads. I'm in South Florida so there's not much off-road options so I haven't done the skid plate upgrade yet. And no engine upgrades at this time. I did pull the Air Box Snorkel out and like the extra flow it give plus it's got a deeper throaty sound when I get on the throttle. I also did the 16 tooth front sprocket that help smooth out higher rpm's. I'm originally from Grand Rapids MI and have dreams of road tripping up there in the future. Thanks for your content and have a great summer!

    This might be my first bike in 20 years. Im a bit worried about the weight and height of it. I'm 5'11" and 185lbs. I've only rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers, but need something that can do highway speeds well because im about 45 mins from the mountains, yet go on dirt and gravel roads for camping. Love to watch your channel. Stay safe.

      We are pleased that you enjoy the channel. Might we suggest visiting a dealership to see if the S-model is a better height for you? We also grew up riding dirt bikes, and the weight difference is there, especially in sand and mud, but duel sport riding is different than trail riding and mx.

    ONE of the major benefits of KLR ownership is the bike is cheap enough to leave some money in the bike budget for mods AND the farkles tailor the bike to YOUR needs AND there are literally dump truck loads of after-market goodies available.

    I love that color, but would be happy with the orange/yellow one too. I had two drifter 1500’s, (ironically the only bike I’ve bought twice besides 2nd gen KLR-650’s 😂😂😂) and I loved the ride and power on them. Idk of the mean streaks gearing, but both 4th and 5th were overdrive on the drifter. Super relaxed ride. I love Kawasaki cruisers of that genre.

    I've dreamed of a KLR650 for 20 years and finally got one to replace the Himalayan I've been riding for about 4 years. It's a 2022 Adventure model and I love it. It's just past 700 miles and I did the first service today. I've replaced the foot pegs. I lengthened the shift lever. I put a HF hard case on the back platform. I put yellow film over the auxiliary lights. Put a mount on it for a cheap Garmin. I've ridden mostly on the road, but my son and I rode some trails last weekend. I love this thing. I rode the Himalayan on a 1600 mile trip a couple summers ago, and i can't wait to see how the KLR performs on a similar trip this summer.

      Welcome, bud! You’d still want some sort of pannier system. Once you determine the pipe diameter, you should be able to find hardware to fits to attach to the case directly, or attach it to a heavy duty plastic cutting board then mount your box onto the case.

      At 2:02, I cover that they are aluminum stock milled out with a 3/4" end mill, then drilled and tapped. The aluminum stock was 3/4" × 1 1/2. I cut the individual brackets into 2 1/2".

    To address the thumping handle you could wrap a fair amount of cordage from one handle around the back to the other handle. It would stop the thumping and give you quick access to extra cordage (a lot!) without taking up any space inside the panniers.

  • @bransonbasher6534
    @bransonbasher6534 Год назад

    For those of us that don't have a mill; I've repurposed Amazon handle bar mounts for similar projects. Look around for whatever they sell for mounting things to your bars and you'll find something that could easily be adapted to projects like this. Upgrade the hardware to good stainless from your local hardware store. I don't trust the threads to hold much so I through drill and use backing nuts Get creative and you can do a lot of things with basic hand tools, don't let a lack of expensive equipment hold you back
