TrophyHunter 15 Posted October 11, 2016 After a fling with a Triumph Tiger 800 XCx - great bike, just more than I wanted in the dirt..... I'm back to a DR650. WCGiv..?? here had this 2014 languishing in his garage after he bought a Husky so I figured it needed a good going through and too many parts. I knew basically what I wanted from my last 6 year long build so I made a list and made a hole in my bank account. This build was delayed a bit due to a Swiss couple stopping in and a solo Swiss rider spending 5 days going through his bike before heading south. Bringing it home........... A little cleaning, lubing, etc. Some parts Some Cogent Dynamics suspension, Seat Concepts seat, DSA Plastics The DSA rear fender really cleans things up. I added BikeVis bullets front and rear. Shakedown tomorrow then start penciling in some trips....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went out to get the proper hardware for the side racks and realized it's mounted wrong in the final pic. Fixed now with some SS bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacDuncan 132 Posted October 11, 2016 Very Cool Mr. Trophy! Looking good! I may buy a DR650 too now that I know the top DR mechanic in town! , but my garage is full, so I may need to keep it in yours for awhile - haha. Look forward to a camp trip soon using as much dirt as can be found to connect El Cajon to Picacho and KOFA!! Temps are just about to cool down !!!!!!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!
