Now thats a TARD....
congrats on your byke..

here's the update of my rallye fairing...the white paint is not to my liking...shud have painted it closer the the lens...will continue the work till next week...and the lower mudguard is yet to be painted..

nothing very killer....but it pass the 170km/hr test...witout having anything flying off...




Dashboard Confession...

Excellent work my friend. I like the white accent just where it is. Looks like a factory works bike. You demonstrate a great love for the sport.


Cheers !

thanks dude....well...i do love the sport very much...its just not having the talent to ride it like how you see them on TV...that sux....

My 2000 as I got it:
was already uncorked and titled with a baja Designs headlight and taillight.


Added so far:
Trailwings
TrailTech Vapor
new clutch bushing and extra plate
Edelbrock and cut airbox
XROnly Casesaver, 15 tooth CS sprocket
EBC Supermoto rotor
got some new susp. linkage bearings to put in soon

Current pic:



On the to do list:
Clarke tank, suspension respring (maybe valving), rewire stator and better lighting, turnsignals, dualstar mirrors on the way, tank bag or fender bag

Now I need to decide what I want to do about tires with the trailwings about gone. It's my commuter so ~80% is on road. Cant decide between getting a 50/50 tire(K270's etc.) and know they wear quickly; getting street oriented rubber(Avon Distanzia etc.) and just deal with it offroad (and not enjoy the capability of the bike); or just go broke and get another set of wheels to have both worlds. Suggestions...

My 2002 XR650R, with Oregon plate:

4.6 gal IMS tank
Uncorked
HRC power up kit
Baja Kit
K&N coming in, Big Gun full system going out

I'm picking up my new to me XR next week. I'm planning on turning this into my 200-300 mile from the garage adventure bike (since I live in N Colo, lots of adventure to be had from here). Anyways, looking for the rest of teh after market have to haves to put on this. Its got a lot now, but I know I want a speedo. Looking at the trail tech and vapor. Anyone have any experience with Speedos for the BRP?

Where in Northern CO? I'm in Fort Collins.

Same here. Love living in Fort Fun.

I like the ICO Dualsport. Simple, bulletproof, easy to use, easy to install, replacable sensor, etc... Speedometer, trip meter, odometer, and clock.

Hey A.J.,

Your XR looks absolutely stunning!!!!


Now how long till you produce this fairing for the general public?

When I first looked at that site they were selling the $500 racing model which would be way overkill, but on second look tahe dual sport model was more in line (what you said). Seems to be simple enough.

The vapor tech one looks like is has a lot of information on it. Anyone have experience with that one?

thanks dude...but it won't be for the general public man...its just for the interest at heart...anyways,others might find it otherwise...

Nice bike!
Hey thats a cool windscreen. What kind is it? Where did you find that?

Mark

it is an aftermarket Dakar screen that i cut to size and mounted with a universal screen mount. I made the holes in the screen to suit the mount kit.
Makes the fast roads far more pleasant. Unfortunately i do not have a good frontal pic.


5mm allen key to undo two cap screws and remove the screen and stick in my hydration pack. The stainless steel mount stays behind so it takes a minute to remount. No realignment required.

XRR converters,

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying one and am wondering how the gps guys hardwire their units with no battery. Thanks for any scoop!

Lee

with this or just use batteries like I do

Thanks ganshert! That's zactly what I'm talking about. I can only get a few hours (at full brightness) out of my Quest.
