I just finished reading "Odyssey to Ushuaia" by Andres Carlstein. He rode a KLR 650 with Givi E45 and E36 saddlebags from over 20,000 miles from New York to Ushuaia (obviously :D ). He reports on...

Did he ride a stock XR and a stock KLR on his trips? Did he make any modifications to either bike that would affect the comfort factor? I'd expect big differences right out of the box, but with a...

Alright, I'll look into the DRs more. I was under the impression after reading through posts that they weren't as durable as some of the other makes. Perhaps I am mistaken.
