Owner is my buddy gasburner650ss.

Yes the fairing has been cut and tilted forward, hence the polished aluminum wedges.

He's a pretty crafty guy, but unfortunately will be unavailable for comment this weekend as he's going on an ATV trip with his other (ghey) friends...can you say 'Brokeback".

for those interested in my bike check out the thread "KLR 650 winter project".
Still waiting on the Vapor computer and dash combo and a new 2 way + Elka shock. (The shock may take a while to get....any body want to sponsor me???)

Loven the pig sticker saltbox !!! I have a pet house pig so that has sort of set the theme of everything I own now. Where would a fellow KLR rider and pig fan score a sticker like that ?

Clutch side was a breeze, throttle side requires some adjustments with the controls. Basically just slide everything in a ways. Not necessary to trim the levers, it all fits. I like 'em.

Luckily I started on the throttle side as it was pointed upwards. When I cut off the end of the throttle tube I discovered the end of the bar was plugged with silicone. Hmmmmmm. I used a spade bit in the drill to explore and struck lead shot, had I done this on the clutch side the lead would have spilled everywhere! I dug out just enough lead to make room for the mounts to fit in snugly and called it good.


Rocky Mountain ATV is where I got 'em.

Does anyone have a write-up on how to do this mod? I'm also looking for info on how effective it is. I'm 6'3" and the stock windshield dumps the air right at my upper chest. Would be nice to move it up without buffeting. Shoot me a PM if you have info or more pics!
