We hit gravel roads as much as possible and even tight ATV trails in southern Missouri. If you have not rode western Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains you need to. What an awesome place. BTW - yes I took too much crap but the bike carried it fine at 60 to 65 mph. Low speed manuevering was another story.

Is that a tiny wind screen on there? What kind? Does it work OK?

I went with a Clarke tank after reading as many reviews as I could find. It seemed to have the fewest complaints about fit. Mine went on without a problem.
Lack of a 6th gear is my only complaint about the DRZ.

It's the small KLR windscreen I bought off of Ebay for $30....I like the looks and is somewhat effective.

Great thread - here's my DRZ K - estimated at 245lbs:

Since the pics, I've added the 4 gallon Acerbis tank (no longer need to carry fuel bottles), had the seat upholstered to make i t a bit softer, and put the stock exhaust back on (quieter).















New pics with the Acerbis and upholstered seat:

Anyone ever experiment with some wider tire sizes?

What's the widest size anyone's used without handling problems?

I fit a treaflex on my drz it is as wide as you can get (160), and it still rubs.

I run a 140 or a 5.10 on mine with no problems. That skinny rear wheel wont let a tire lay out too wide anyway.

Where did you wire your 12v port in at? I tried wiring directly to the battery without success. It fluxuatd too much.

Depending on the gps you need to convert from 12v to 3v, I used a car transformer and a fuse and wired it directly to the headlight harness, and also did an inline switch so I could kill the power when needed.

Radio shack, water proof cap type, aerostich has them also.
wired to battery. Works fine for my gps, cell phone charge when the bikes off.
