Does anyone know what the advantage is with the ceramic coating that BDSB's is offering on their FMF headers and pipes over the non coated versions that others are selling? Just wondering what the reason for it is......

It keeps heat inside the exhaust, not radiating out through the steel... therefore increasing exhaust gas velocity. It will help with exhaust scavenging.

Nice one page write up on the CRFL in the December issue of CW. Nothing new, but I get to look at more pictures of one while I wait for my (ship date 11/29) one to get here. This is mostly about Honda getting back to it's grass roots day of giving us the bikes we really want.

Nice setup. Your pics inspired me to order that wolfman bag. Still hoping someone does a centerstand for the 250.

After much reading on ADV I put a deposit down on one today, $5000 out the door with taxes, title, license.... very excited for delivery.

Congrats! I only have about 400 miles on mine so far. Around 100 off road. Loving this lil thumper!

I know my wife is gonna hit it pulling her car in. Just a matter of time. The suspension travel leans the bike over in my garage more than my last bike. Besides maintenance is easier on a centerstand. To each their own I guess.

I just use the rear stand I bought for my CBR250R. It has 'paddles' that lever the swing-arm up instead of using bobbins. I think it was $65 new.

Looking at what bikes he listed in his profile, it didn't appear that he's seriously into more aggressive dirt riding. If the application isn't a dual sport to be ridden on a real trail occasionally, the fitment of a centerstand shouldn't be a problem. I'd never put one on my KLX, but I ride it in terrain quite frequently that would cause a serious problem for a centerstand...and me. People are different, and if you're not going to ride trails or terrain where a centerstand might be dangerous, then it's doable. KLR650's have/had aftermarket centerstands, and they work pretty well for those who don't try to really ride them like full dirt bikes.

YAY! Finally got mine last week.. loving the bike!
Fitted 7/8 pro taper bars, had to re-adjust my clutch afterwards though.

Hey I'm still new to the whole dual sport and riding. Is there any hand guards that work with stick bars? If not what are some good bars that are not to far from the way the stock ones are. Thanks in advance.
