The best DR650 accessory yet!

[OldRoadToad]

Well now, I am not much for off-road, but I like the look and style of enduros. I have a nice DR650 kitted up with an IMS 4.9 gallon tank but recently I found some thing even better.<BR>

Behold! An 8.9 gallon tank for the Suzuki DR650!!! <BR>

Oh, wise and great Toad......wouldn't you, like, kind of forget when you last put juice in it? And then run dry about two months later?

******! Thats the tank I want for my KLR and I can't find one. That thing is awesome, where did you get it. Thanks, Don

You'd have to rename the DR the El Toado Valdez. That's alot of fuel!

Nice find Toad! I'll have to tell Jen about this for her DR. I can see it now. Flat on her side with a full tank of gas right next to the gas pump because she couldn't hold it upright! :D<BR>

Speaking of weather protection, has anyone out there had any experience with the Cee Bailey's windscreens? They attach to the stock headlight plastic, which made me wonder if they'd do a lot of flexing at speed. I think they're a little large for a dual purpose bike, but Cee Bailey's told me they'd cut them down to customer specs for no additional fee. This is the only windshield I've seen that's designed specifically for DR's and DRZ's. Anybody out there tried one?</b> <BR>

Nope, haven't tried them but I know some BMW owners who use their laminar lips on their bikes to reduce buffeting. Supposedly a good product.

Parabellum also makes a large, sturdy looking windshield.
