| Well its all there! I'm getting ready to rebuild the front forks. Will add Race Tech springs, new seals (while its apart mite-as-well replace them). Drain and flush fork oil. This is the electric start model. Now if I could just LOWER it 2" I'd feel better! Need to service the rear shock as well. I have new bar's, hand guards, and foot pegs for it too.
I'm looking for a Larger than stock fuel tank as well. | |

Added rack Acerbis hand guards and EMGO clutch lever assembly 2-piece perch. (Suzuki is out-of stock) Added turn signals (4) Shinko dual sport tires next (I gotem, just need to put'em on). MSR tubes Moose front fender bag (not installed). Kouba links for the rear All Balls racing Bearing kit for the steering head and rear suspension link New brake pads both ends Looking for a Complete set of wheels BOTH ends! I want to mount my Knobbys on a spare set of wheels and keep the Dual Sport Shinko's for lite off-road/road fun. | |

| Looks almost the same as my 99. I cut the rear mount tabs off the rack and welded on longer ones since I wanted it closer to level. Mounted the little, super flexible led turns from ProCycle to tabs welded on it. Noticed my chain guard is busted the other day so I'll have to get another. I went with the Acerbis also since it has 2 petcocks, yaay. | |

| I found a idea I've used on my 650 VStrom. " Buell Ulysses" turn signals. Flexable rubber mounted, Reflector behind the bulb makes them brighter the stock Strom and, they are only $15.00 each! They use bullet connecters. It was EZ to adapt them to the Stroms wire harness. just a little soldering. They would work great on our DR's. | |

| I have them on the front of my VStrom. $15.00 ea. V.S. $58.00 ea. for the VStroms And when I bust the ebay copies on the DR350es, I'll be replacing with Buell's signals.
