Would love to have either of those!

 

the oil change intervals on the 690/701 are much more spread out than the excf/fe bikes...
its roughly like 6k mile intervals vs 600 mile intervals

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a cold weather glove? Don't need goretex per se, but those waterproof liners do seem to cut down on wind seep-through.

 

the drz400 is a great bike and i do love mine buuut its old its dated and very hard to get more power and its fat lol id love to get something lighter thats a bit easier for me to pick up (still dont have good strength in my left side) if i drop it on a trail but ill admit getting one for a second bike on a budget its one of the best bikes for it!

 

hell ya man! sooo new graphics coming soon??

 

I'm most certain that my cold and your cold is completely different, but I just ordered these. They are much better than the snowboarding gloves I was using

I honestly think I'm gonna give plasti-dip a whirl. I keep reading that it'll probably be a few years before aftermarket plastics are available........and I want a white bike

 

haha i gotcha i know if you do any trails it wont hold up from rocks hitting it

 

It'll at least let me see what it'll look like. I'm not gonna pull the graphics kit off

and I've really only ridden on the road anyway

 

haha i gotcha man well once its warm enough to do it you better show pics! also watch a video on how to properly put it down lol or it will end up not so good

 

Been really pleased with these -

Worked well last winter on my 35 mile commute in 25-30 degree temps. If you are a little hardier than me, then the Scorpion EXO gloves give more dexterity and still have some Thinsulate. They work for me down to about 45 or so but I have delicate, sensitive hands...

 

That's my problem. I can't paint for shit. I painted my skids and sliders....and they're 10ft jobs

 

Pretty sure that's the QA standard for CARC paint we were held to when I was at OshKosh making M-ATVs. So at least your "Mil-Spec"!

 

Dude, people that can paint always amaze me. I'm more of a Van Gogh........my shit looks like Starry Night with uneven runs and splatter everywhere

 

haha just take your time with it!

 

I sat one of my sliders down on bubble wrap(didn't realize it wasn't completely cured).......it has bubble indentions in it still

 

People pay top dollar for custom paint designs. Yours was free.

 

geez thats lame, sounds like a boring job.....

 

I'll be sure to list that if I ever sell it

 

Even a cool thing can be made tedious and boring with enough DCMA paperwork.
