Um... I didn't make this post did I? I don't remember this I quoted that on another post I think hahaha.

Anyway thanks molly your so informative, I have been over on avdrider looking at some huge posts over there reading about the DR and some of the mods most you have listed here, but really shouldn't be more thank 3000$ and I'm going to try and buy a used one and go over all of it my self. I'm buying the bike in western Canada most likely because I live here.

I feel more comfortable on the klr when it was stock vs stock just sitting on it in the show room but I think once I change the bars (including raising then) , seat, tank (going with the larges safari tank) , suspension front and back I will get built by Jessie @ Kientech Engineering Home Page (also going to get some other mods on his website), also going to reinforce the motor due to stories of the shifter smashing through the side or rocks puncturing the oil case, in line fuel filter, and a bunch of other simple little things like kn airfilter and heated gel grips...

I just hope after all of this it feels comfy. All the guys at the shops here tell me to get the klr but I'm going to pick up a DR because of its more dirt bike like feel, I'm more used to.

Just might be hard to find a used one around here, but worst case I'll buy new...
