Thanks EBMOTT. Reassemble progress! Let's see what we have here. 790cc motor Swingarm with new bearings Rear wheel with Excel 18, D606 and new bearings RMZ450 triple with new head tube bearings RMZ450 forks with new RaceTech .52 springs, seals and wipers nav tower mount stabilizer post
Looks awesome! Excuse what may be a dumb question, why the switch in wheel width? And is 4.25 the stock width? That sounds closer to a SM tire.
Thanks. I'm going for the kick ass, low maintenance dual sport that runs good on crappy gas and has easy to source consumables (21 tires and 520 chain & sprockets). I looked at 18x4.25's (KTM 950/990's use them) but I wanted an Excel rim and the price jump over 2.5 width is big and over 3.5 is ridiculous.
Welcome lurkers! More progress and she's a roller! Front wheel RMZ450 front hub and rotor Excel 21 Exhaust Rear brakes functional Front brakes RMZ450 master cylinder DR650 brake line, was longer and beefier than the RMZ one DR650 brake cylinder, identical to the RMZ one but already had Vapor speedo sensor mounting hole Had to order a M6x12.7 magnet rotor bolt from TrailTech because the DR650 one is M8 Still need to bleed BRP Top clamp/sub mount for Scotts stabilizer HDB Top clamp Carb cables General cable, wire and vent routing. It is a puzzle!
looks good ,I was wondering what bend are you running on your pro tapers? could be just photo but they look really tall. keep it up cant wait to see final out come.
Pastrana FMX. I'm 6-5" so with the FMX, BRP top clamp/submount and ProCycle lowered pegs I can finally stand comfortably.

The DRZ400 switch has four connectors and the DR650 has six. From the wiring diagrams you can see that the switches do the same thing (even same wire colors) except the DRZ does not have the O/Y & B/W circuit with the resistor. Here is my 100ohm 1/4watt 5% substitute resistor circuit. This is the key switch I got from ebay, "New Genuine Suzuki Ignition Switch 2000-2011 DRZ400 S DRZ400SM OEM Keys #F99". I replaced the four connector with a six and put the resistor on the switch side of the coupling. Spade connectors and electrical tape is temporary because I wanted to test the switch but don't know how long the pigtail needs to be yet. The switch worked perfect.
I used the same ignition on my 650 and wired it so when in park position it kept power to my GPS and aux plug. This is great so the GPS stays on and doesnt keep wanting to turn off and our intercom stays on, so if we are sitting on the bike waiting we can talk.
Given the lack of tools I have for bending metal, I'm pretty happy with how symmetrical the brackets turned out.
