AR15xAR10's 2015 Suzuki DRZ400S "Dirt Scooter" Build

Fantastic, i can lean all the way over on the edge

When they're brand new, they'll spin on black top until you get the little rubber tits worn off of them. As you can see by this black mark created by accelerating out of a turn:

 

Not bad in the rain. The stock tires spun like crazy on wet roads. Super sketchy

 

Foook em.

 

Whats really great, is when you clutch up a wheelie on one of those fresh tires, and they spin two whole revolutions before brining the front end up. The black tracking is crazy. Feels so weird

 

I can hear her now

I normally do not condone wheelies with passengers but that is hilarious

 

OP updated

 

Ever going to get back into it?

 

Late to the party, is your fender just a hacked up stock fender or a replacement?

 

There are so many adventure and comfort based motorcycles out there now, the market is as diverse as it will likely ever get. Old man motorcycles are becoming pretty damn badass. I wouldn't mind having a big 4cly cruiser someday with shit loads of torque and comfort amenities for days

 

Rear fender? Its the Thumpertalk under tail bracket and DRC edge 2 tail light kit.

Bolts directly to the aluminum sub frame and take about an hour to do with the wiring and such

 

If you can get one serviced within a half hour of your home, i'd do it. Maybe not until the kids are in highschool or college though.

 

I think i'm going to make a montage of pics i haven't posted from this summer and stick them somewhere on this thread, haven't decided where yet.

 

No, your front SM looking fender. I already hacked the shit out of the rear of mine. Mine is an old DR350 so it's not as purdy as yours

 

Oh oh oh, no worries.

Its a fender from @Sacrifice's 2015 DRZ400SM


So its a factory suzuki part, most SM owners switch to the acerbis or ufo shorty front fender and will give these stockers away. I wanted it because its a cleaner looking fender, didn't have gouges like my stocker, is more size proportionate to the bike, and is about 4-5" shorter than the stocker for the S model

 

He wanted an acerbis, so i bought one for him and he sent me his stocker when he bolted up the new one.

 

Ahh, I see. When you listed @Sacrifice, I thought he cut your stocker for you to give you that look. I was going to say it was a damn impressive job! The SM fender is on my list to do also, the massive front fender needs to go.

 

Do it! Get the truckster situated first though!

 

Totally changed the look of the bike, one of the simplest mods i have done and probably one i am most happy with.

Wise man

 

Be surprised how small the aftermarket ones are comparably.

Bike looks way better with the sm version
