These bikes look great. I love the red. My 2006 is not red

I guess I could pull out a rattle can

What soft luggage are you using?

I've now moved to the Husky as my primary but keeping the KLX (lowered it) for other family members to ride.

did 1,000 miles on my klx250sf....500 miles from san francisco to san diego....cruising 75 mph to 85 mph all the way with the flow of traffic on 70 speed limit roads....for the mountains I had to downshift to 5th to keep up at 70 mph to 75 mph flow of traffic for an hour straight....repeat on the way back....the extreme gusts of wind on the grapevine was the only hairy part....
