Hi, Yes they are actually quite lightweight but incredibly strong and lockable too. I think they are around $1400 new http://www.jesseluggage.com/, glad I didn't have to buy them like that! I like the green too, I may consider painting it matt green one day, but its just too clean at the moment.

Hi, Well I did read both of the books, but I do not recall this. Anyway, I did learn my lesson, as of course I will not be doing this again. I just wish I had spotted the hydrant, not growing up in North America, they are just part of the scenery to me. Thanks anyway!

Hello all, I would like to introduce my new KLR. I found this bike local on ADVrider.com and picked it up this weekend. I have been riding dirt and ATV mx for many years but I am planning to meet some friends on their around the world trip on DRZ-400's, thats a long story and I will create...

So I swung by MEC today on King St West, I left the bike outside while I ran into to by a lock and chain. I am new to Canada, just passed my M1 exit and only got the bike a few days ago. I had barely driven in the city before and did not realize that you cannot park within three metres of a...

Oh sorry I forgot to mention price, I am asking $600. Thanks! Jack

****** SOLD via Craiglist ***** Thanks for looking Hello, I bought this with the intention of using it to zip around the city but I turns out I will be abroad for the rest of the summer. I bought it and immediately got to work, it has recently had: New front and rear brakes, New front and...

My plans have changed, now looking for a KLR650 or DRZ 650, again anything considered but looking at newer models. Thanks Jack

Giesen, gotcha! But you know, for a 30 year old, 185cc bike? The course is proving to be a little fun, I get to try a few different bikes and with a good group of people too. On another note, one place that I did get a quote for the Yammy Exciter was only another $200 to insure a Yamaha WR250X...

That is interesting, I am taking the training course this week, not the end of the world, I will just miss the $450 could have purchased a good pair of boots and a jacket! The best of luck to you!

Looking for a street legal, supermoto, dual sport etc. Will consider anything similar to what is listed above. Thanks, cash waiting for the right bike. Jack

Yeah its looking like most of the major insurance companies will not take bikes that are over 25 - 30 years old and have the training course as a mandatory requirement. I will take the course just to get more choice when it comes to insurance. Thank you for the welcome Macs, just very...

Dang it! So I purchased a cheap motorcycle thinking I could run it for a year or so and get my insurance down for next year when I buy a KLR 650 or a DR 650 or similar. I bought a 1981 Yamaha Exciter 185cc for $100 (see project tutorials thread), fixed it up and it is looking like it will be...

I can see the fun in building that, but riding it looks like too much hard work.

I second that, seamless service! Awkward opening hours, but this is really only a first world problem ha ha

Awesome, my mind is settled. Thanks!

Excellent, thanks guys! Yes that ownership doc is signed on the back. So the receipt is dated on the actual day I paid for the bike (May 16th), and I don't plan on getting the Safety, plates insurance etc done for the next 3-4 weeks. On the back it says it needs to be changed within 6 days of...

Hello all, I picked up this bike from Craigslist a few weeks back and it is now ready to have the safety done, I just have a few questions, I have done a search, but I am not sure what to do in this case. 1) The picture of the document below is the only one I have, is this the 'Ownership...

Does anybody have any additional input on this? Any common faults that anybody is aware of?

Complete, now everything in the future is getting painted Matt Black. It is quite possible the easiest process ever! Well after years of spending days at a time preparing vehicles for conventional automotive paints, this goes on in seconds. The bike owes me around $450 before safety and plates...

Hi Brian, Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. Almost certainly a detent type thing, unfortunately being such an old bike, there is no panels for easy access, just the two engine casings. But when I did something similar like this on an old Royal Enfield it was just behind the clutch...
