3 weeks ago my DR350 was stolen I had it 5 years and did all modifications to it with no hassles over about 2 evenings. Everything just fell into place no new parts needed besides a left hand hydraulic lever which I had from previous bike.
See pic Of My 350 setup.
Then last week my very VERY GENEROUS FRIEND. Gave Me a dr650 [emoji33][emoji33] as my bike was not insured and I was heart broken [emoji3525].
So now I'm trying to play Tetris with levers and clamps and handle bars and nothing is working.......And parts off the shelf are limiting and it means buying - trying - returning hassles. [emoji22]
So what I would love some help with is... If anyone has access to a bunch of used levers and bars and clamps etc that I could come round and fiddle with to find a combo that can work. The protaper contour bars on the 650 are not helping so will need to probably start off by replacing bars with 22mm ones. Cause current situation looks like this.
Below pic of 650 predicament....
This is my first attempt at copying what I did last time. Below you can see that I have run out of bar...
Too many silly clashes waste bar space as shown below
I know I already have my bum in the butter wirh being given a bike.
But I really don't have spare cash to throw around.... BUT I do need a solution that is safe and that works but dunno how to do it without some help. [emoji2275]
I'm based in North Riding JHB.
Please shout if you have ideas or any other help to offer. Please give me a shout.
TIA
