fwiw, I don't even post over there friend. tell me though, when was the last time YOU offered up any helpful info to anyone on this forum? seems all you do is run your mouth and seek reassurance from your 'buds'.

 

thx. yeah, each time I walk out and see it sitting there in all it's still brand new sweet bright blue metallic/yellow color scheme gloryI wonder what the hell I'm doing trying to sell it. then I think, nah, I'm gonna keep it. then I remember back to the days when I use to take my KLX from the road to off-road in seconds and then again in seconds I was riding wheelies legally and jumping stuff. then I go to the kawi site and drool over a bike I once had and had built to the hilt (sans engine mods)with perfectly tunedmods and the beauty of 18/21's. only drawback was lack of power, the DRZ has that one covered. it just needs the 18/21's. I should just bite the bullet.

 

add: 13-tooth front sprocket, new chain to fit 13/45, crankcase vent mod, smog system removed and capped off, Uni-filter, carb tuned and jetted with N1TC, 2.5 turns on a/f screw, suspension adjusted for my weight, modded rear plate fender, of course the BigGun. what else is there to do w/out delving into the top-end of the engine?

 

bars- why? stock ones are fine until they bend- if they're bent you probably need to become a better or smarter rider.
hand & foot controls- is this a Harley? what's wrong with the stock ones? are you RC? doubt it.
seat- was fine with me. they usually look terrible once someone starts jacking with the foam and trying to recover.
tank- again, fine with me. nobrakes had to modify immensely just to get his to fit and then imo, it looked really bad.
suspension- i weigh 150lbs or so, the stock stuff adjusted to my weight worked as well as a revalve for a heavier person.
motor- I said that I could go there, fwiw, I had in hand a 300 cylinder I acquired off ebay.
wheels- why? oem ones are good enough unless you're rock climbing, no one does that here. nobrakes didn't change his wheels to my knowledge.
instrumentatin- again, why? all I need is an odometer and speedometer, the tach is nice but unnecessary. my DRZ doesn't have one. I've got a Garmin I can take in my pocket if I venture that far away which is never.
brakes- why? you're not fast enough to warrant better brakes nor is anyone else on this forum.

so all your stuff adds up to a huge waste of money. the mods I did were the most cost-efficient ones for the KLX. some say that bypassing the big-bore kit and just adding a pumper carb is better. but sinking your money into footpegs, handlebars, susp. work for me is a waste. why wouldn't you buy a lighter kickstand if you're gonna replace pegs and wheels? you don't make sense and I think you just want to argue which is fine with me. I'll go all day if you want.
