Everyone would call be Good Buddy!"

Every other KLR on the planet with an IMS tank uses this hideous 6.6 gallon abortion. Cant use my happy trails crash bars? Meh...

Why bother...ps whats up with the garbage cans on the back? :classic_unsure:

Where's the sprocket cover gone? :classic_unsure:

Thats a really good question..they are made out of cheap plastic and they tend to disintergrate if you over torque the nuts...:wave:

A lot of people leave that off to stop the crap packing in there when off road. I do it on mine but keep the case saver on, it also makes it easy to check for sprocket wear

Even worse, Kawasaki dint use UV inhibitors when they molded the KLR's plastic's. If you dont keep a KLR in a garage it will freckle and fade. The 2oo4 KLR's Red plastic went to pink within weeks of ownership... :classic_unsure:

Well maybe i;ll pontificate on the significance of changing my tank. I'll loose the" black" part of the black and green which were my 2003 KLR's colours that year.

 

Which btw was probably the only thing going for my KLR was that it was an 2003 and it came in green and black,

 

not all the other puke me colour combo's Kawasaki came up with for the KLR.
