Well just to keep this old thread alive, here are a couple of pics of my '94 KLE500
Seems a KLE is not the only vehicle we have in common, note the Delica in front of my caravan.
Thoroughly enjoying the KLE, the KLR650 is now gone and currently just the white Suzuki DL650 V-Strom in the garage to keep the KLE company.

To add mine in to colection, simply loving the bike 
What have I done to my bike:
- Acerbis high front fender (not on the bike at the moment)
- Madhead handguards with turn signals and acerbis high wind deflectors
-Alu brake and clutch lever in bike color
-Alu bar end weights in bike color
-Givi Maxia 52l top-case
-SW-Motech crash bars
-Home made wide mx footpegs
- 12v socket
- Tutoro manual chain oiler with a electromagnetic valve to make it compleately automatic
- DNA High flow air filter
- Home made stainless steel soft pannier racks
- Raised for 5cm with custom made lincage arms(dogbones)
-46 teeth rear sprocket
Troubles that I had:
- Regulator/rectifier faliour (busted 2 batteries)
-Nothing else but regular maintenance(oil, oil filter, and spark plug change and front brake pad change a few weeks ago)
A few pics:
With the high front fender
On top of the highes going road in Slovenia, Mangart road takes you 2072m above sea level (Ride report is here)
This is how it looks at the moment
It is getting cold here so I will soon have to put in in the garage for winter sleep. But there is a few things I have planed to do this winter. First is to install electronics for hazard lights, second is to get a different exhaust as this carbon-fiber one that I have on now ti falling appart (from the first owner so it is 7+ years old as when he fitted it it was allready used), and if I have some money left in the spring I will get progresive front springs.
Safe riding everyone!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
