Do you think it fits on a KLX250 from 2009? I think thye are nearly th same bikes....

Any bike with bags and windshield is a bike you can tour on. It amazes me that people need the latest most comfortable shit but then again I consider my Springer an adventure bike.

good stuff mane

I’m 6’ 250 lbs and getting the taller mini apes and riser was a night and day difference. I was getting a lot of lower back pain after an hour or so of riding. Now I never even think about. The stock seat had to go and I went with the saddleman you’re referring to with the back rest. Kind of mixed on my opinion of that. It is better than the stock seat though. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. Just placed my order using your link. Hope thats an affiliate link.

Hi Todd, looking foeward to seeing how your bike turns out. I'm thinking of going for some 4" risers as just did recent 1.5k trip around Ireland and was getting some shoulder pain. Still rocking the stock seat after 17k miles...as it's comfy for me. :)

These are a waste of money. They increase engine temp. You just purchased a high dollar air cooled bike, now you just blocked much needed air flow by installing these. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

One thing to try to eliminate buffeting is to add a vent in your windshield. This allows just enough air through to eliminate the air pocket behind the windshield and therefore gets rid of that air effect. I have a heritage and between the fork mounted fangs and the vent buffeting is almost zero at any speed

I just ordered them. I have an Indian Challenger with a "Fat-Front-Tire-Kit" (180mm) these should work perfectly!!

Now zip tie that spring

Don't ever use drywall mud on something that flexes it will come off. Take it from a drywall man, I know from experience

I’m in Sussex county nj and I had a big one in my front yard again. Bear encounters are common. I’m trying to keep my dog safe and myself

Thanks! Beautiful bike!

I really like your idea! I have a slightly different idea. Find a little more modern popup, say 2001-2005. Strip off the popup portion, and try and keep the floor, tanks, frame, propane. Add the foamie on top of that existing base. I want a usable bathroom with shower. Also, wife and I sleep separately now due to her cpap, so want to have two twins, so have to manage the layout. I have an electric SUV so need light weight (3500lb towing capacity).

Thanks for this nice project - cheers!!

So, I have an Exiss trailer that is having problems with a frozen hinges just like yours did , what was your secret on getting your hinges to move more freely?

This video takes way to long .

Do you think the small one is just too small

Good overview

Why didn't you show you makin it?🤔

Any chance you can share what size are the t-slot channels are on the crossbars? I'm assuming they're t-slots.

Awesome ❤

I loveeeeee this idea! Thanks for sharing

Great end result, I think I will be trying to copy this exactly, it works perfectly for what I wanted to build. Pity we don’t have the Amish mills in Ireland 😊

Todd, sorry to be a dummy, but how does a ring shank nail attach the plywood to the metal frame?

Is it really so much cheaper than glas and Epoxi?

Your garage looks like mine. I’ve got the 2023 KLX 300 and I love it it does everything pretty darn well Great ergonomics terrific suspension and impressive acceleration and torque don’t be fooled by the 300 cc mark I like the rack I have the same one on my 2023 and it did fit perfectly out of the box

For break-in, its not just about the engine, but the transmission also. Smooth upshifts and down shifts, no jack rabbit starts and stops, and no high rev running for extended periods. another thing is, short rides to heat and cool down the engine. multiple heat cycles during break-in is good for getting everything seated. I have always used engine hours, in the past, not mileage. but riding conservatively for the first 10 hours or so, goes a long way to having a long lasting engine, that has well seated rings with no blow by, and gets all the excess material from building, out of the engine and transmission for first oil change.

Silicone hex cushions are what you need, something from purple or vivamint

Todd, great project my fellow Michigander. Now I know what to expect. It looks natural on the bike. Doug🏍️👍🤓

im no camper builder. But 5 minute mud aka hot mud has an epoxy like material in it to make it dry faster. Also you could use a 2 part epoxy just on the seams. Im not sure what the price difference would be for a whole camper using 2 part epoxy instead of wood glue. I do know you can get it pretty cheap if you buy chinese brands in bulk. edit: is there anything stopping you from doing it with titebond and paint and then later on down the road when you have money coating the whole thing in epoxy and sanding to a smooth finish?

I thought the lower brackets attached to the upper bolts of the triple clamp. Are the instructions different for a 2023 KLX300?

You could try some split wire loom tubing to protect your brake line.

You should get a front wheel chock, it makes more easier to jack the bike up when the bike is upright straight instead of side standing

The problem with this jack is that there's no way to strap the frame of your bike to it, if you're just going to raise it up to 'look' at it fine, just don't plan on turning a wrench on it, your bike will slip right off this jack when you're least expecting it and crash onto the floor. Don't use without a front wheel chock or strapping to some overhead rafters.

Mine did not come with new bolts

Not my choice!

I have a La Pera solo seat. It gets rough after about 45 minutes. Painful. I got a butt buffer expecting a big difference. The difference is negligible at best. Without the butt buffer, my butt would hurt. When I added the butt buffer my Gooch hurt alot worse in about 30 minutes. Dang. Glad I found one locally. The guy selling it said it wasn't worth 30 so I gave em 20.

Thanks, great video. What is the make of wind shield?

Interesting, I have a 2024 KLX 300 with the exact same rack, spacers to short... I stacked 3 firm, black rubber washers on top of the spacers on each side to give me the extra length, worked perfectly, nice and solid. If there's a will there's a way, lol. Enjoy your new wheels👍 I love this bike!

Good video that’s the one I have! Thank you!

How does it stand up on a windy day driving on the rd?

I thought Exiss trailers had "Kell" brand windows you can buy replacements. thx for the video

I like the set up; My brother has a M-F 1723 EB & loves it. I own a 2018 M-F 1526 with a fel, & have the clamp on forks as well. I've been looking at grapples both hydraulic or electric, But both are expensive, & you need a 3rd function. I like this option; Because I already have the forks, & I don't have that many brush piles to eliminate, & with my 1526 I can lift loads higher, & load into my 1 ton dump truck; I also have a Woods 6' scrapper blade that I put on the back; As a counter weight. Thanks for the video, & the very useful tip😉.

Enjoyed seeing your property and that you are able to grow some plots on it. I’m new to this whole process, your property looks a LOT like mine in northern MI

Hey Todd I just watched your video using the groundhog max with your Massey Ferguson sub compact. Are you still happy with that set up? I have the same set up but never used the groundhog max with the tractor.

Good job. I would like to see a second video with your next service. Thank you.

Sweeet going to try and make one thank you!

Got one love it .
