Right, as I mentioned on another thread, I put on some Maxxis 6006's, handlebar risers, Protaper bars, Cycra hand guards and foam grips.
Now the first parcel has arrived from the US of A!

This is the standard bash plate... sorry its out of focus.

Cool!

Here you can see the side covers... they're made from magnesium (so is the camshaft cover...who was asking why  a DRZ costs more than a DR650? ;)) They're pretty thin and can be broken in a fall and are helluva expensive to replace.

So I ordered a pair of ally protectors for them...

Still waiting for the 16L Acerbis tank...

I also quickly built a rack from ally (going to the Breede bash ;D)
I think the design is pretty god as the rack is incredibly rigid and very, very light... but the welding is TERRIBLE! n(no, I didn't do it!)
Any ideas on how to get this done properly ??? :-[

You can also see the tool tube I made from some PVC pipe.

The blinging WILL continue!
