I think given my situation, ordering a new shock would be best. Although I will say that jamming chunks of tire in there with tape and zap straps is doing an exception job at the moment haha

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll look into both options!

Hi all, My rear suspension bit it up here in Rwanda so I'm looking for a replacement for my 04 KLRear shock. OEM or aftermarket. I'm trying to keep costs low so my cost ceiling isn't that high but i am flexible. I will need it shipped to Kenya. Thanks!

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll keep plugging away at it and maybe by the time I get to North Africa, I'll be a little less shy of sand!

Hey all! I just finished a visit to Kubu island in Botswana. While it is beautiful, Im sure I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't spend the day eating sand on the roads. I've been given lots of tips for riding in sand but they don't seem to work on deep sand roads. I get some speed up and the...

In case anyone views this in the future, here is what I have found: If you can't register it in South Africa, it is critical that you get the bike "deregistered". I didn't know this was a think but the police in Botswana showed me the sheet. It doesn't appear to have a title or form number but...

Hey guys, Thank you for the responses. I need the whole assembly, all I have left is a single light in a wire. The road looked like a yard sale haha Crab, I'm very interested in your cluster and will PM you. Also, what digital face did you install? Thanks again guYs

The machine and two other pack animals out to graze in Lesotho

Hi all, As I've been travelling through South Africa over the past several week so, I've run into several Wild Dogs who have been just fantastic and received advice and assistance online from many more. This has led me to start writing a ride report to share with the forum. It will be...

Just an update for future readers, Lesotho seems willing to register the vehicle but only at Maseru. The government worker told me I needed a photocopy of the sellers passport/ID and a letter from South African police saying that the bike was legally purchased. I also had all the SA transfer...

Good Day All, I thought I would start this thread to clarify for those interested whether or not foreign visitors can attain a TRN and therefore purchase a bike and register it in their name. The answer is NO. Although there are a few different people saying it is possible, coming to South...

Great! Thank you for the answers everyone. I think between all the answers, I should be able to get a ratchet set together hahah

shameless self-bump

Hello All, Based on the exceptional success I had in finding a bike and advice on this forum earlier, I am using it to look for odds and ends to complete my tool kit for a long trip. I am primarily looking for this stuff in either Gauteng or the Cape as those are the only two place I will...

Just an update for those of you following: - I've received a number of great leads on bikes and places to turn wrench. I'm currently doing some research on which model etc would best suit me. - I'm still not really sure what my plan looks like, as it's dependent on where I pick up the bike, but...

Hello all, I am looking for a mid-sized dual sport to complete a trip through Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia. Preferably it would be a machine that is well cared for and at least partially set up for touring (crash guards, bash plate, etc.). I would prefer simpler machines such as KLR...
