  3. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 5 Mar 2009 18:27 Ok got the shock in but coils a no go for stock placement. Anyone with a 4 gen have an idea what you did? Do the coils need to be grounded via the bracket? Thanks Brian My bracket is only an inch or so long. It puts the…
  4. Pelican Case As Side Bags? 2 Feb 2009 22:31 Just got a set of Pelican 1500's for my KLR. 6lbs each, waterproof, indestructable, $80 for the pair on ebay. :biggrin: You'd probably want the larger 1550's though. I say do it, looks be damned :huh:
  5. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 2 Feb 2009 22:25 I have seen several of these with round spacers. Anyone concerned about the shock rotating, since the oem square bracket is no longer "keyed" by the frame channel? I guess it's remote, but I don't know for sure. I…

  11. How do you know when it's time... 14 Apr 2006 19:27 Since the shock degrades over time, little by little, we tend not to notice it going bad. What fixer said about type of riding, weight of rider, gear, etc. is true too. It varies. One sure way to tell would be to find…
