Finally an expedition worthy rig

[STANG302]

Well, hopefully. As long as the deal goes through in a couple weeks. I will be the owner of an 04' KLR 650. I've been lurking here for years just never been able to afford to turn my superduty into a usable camping/expedition rig, fuel's a killer. KLR should fix all that and hopefully this summer I'll have plenty WI and UP trips under my belt.

First question, will be looking for new PPE gear, any recommendations?

[Cabrito]

Cool. Be sure to throw up a picture when you get it.

Riding gear comes down to budgets ant fit.
You just need to find stuff that fits right that you can afford.

Here she is. A 04 KLR 650 10K miles and af few accessories and new kenda tires. I think it was a pretty good deal for $1900.

Sweet! I'd say that's a good deal. I paid $1200 for my 2001 with 14k miles. It had a few mods, but nothing like the stuff you got.

Id say it was a great deal. Good for you, nice bike.

[STANG302]

Thanks, First thing I need to do is get it lowered. It's a bit tall for me!

Just a couple from local spots on the St. Croix on my way home from work tonight.

I ended up with the Kathmandu jacket don't have the pants yet but will soon. I swear I tried on every jacket at bobs and the Kathmandu was the only jacket that was comfortable and am loving it so far.

Crash bars are next on the list. After I get the front fork seals in, still debating if I should do springs/emulators or both at the same time.
