"1970 Pro Touring Dart Build"
One day while I was mentally recouping from the Dart build binge.
It stuck me that life just doesn't have enough thrill so I bought a dual sport bike.
2012 Suzuki DRZ400S
I'm wishing I would have just got a 2 stroke dirt bike instead but we shall see how this things demeanor changes when the new parts get here.
My wife talked me into getting a dual sport because I could legally drive it on and off the road. I'm primarily going to be driving this in thick woods so the road ability is only of slight use to keep me out of trouble the DNR if i have to take a road.
Dumped it twice due to the shitty off road capability of the stock tires.
They call the stock tires death wings for a reason.
I already changed out the foot pegs and replaced the 15 tooth sprocket with a 14 tooth. It gives the bike a lot more low end and it will power wheelie in 1st now. :toothy7:
New parts should make it much more enjoyable to ride.
Kenda K760 Trackmaster II rear tire
Pirelli - Scorpion XCMH front tire
Various tools to change the tires myself
Pro Taper - KX high handle bars
And most importantly an Acerbis Cosmo MX chest/back protection.
