What does the XR650R need?

Focker: Please feel free to move this as I really didn't know where to put it?

Fellow BRP owners: Dual Sport Armory is trying to brainstorm about coming up with something to make/machine for the BRP. Something that has not necessarily been created yet. I hate to use the term "farkle"....but you know like a farkle.

Without pre-tainting the pool please give your 2 cents about what our already perfect bikes need? The skies the limit! Thanks for any help.

Replacement heavy duty rear sub frame for hauling camping gear?

Heavy duty replacement clutch cover, aftermarket replacement brake pedal.

Not going to go there.

I know it's not machined but bolt on plastic fork guards would be sweet.

Damn good stuff guys! Keep 'em coming.

Oh and Focker I did throw you a softball huh?

+1 on that!

Stand alone decompressor lever bracket that you can mount anywhere when using an aftermarket clutch perch and you dont want a combined unit. (right side or left side).

Some form of BIG radiator guard, like a piece on angle iron that bolts on under the bottom of the rods to stop the caving in/moving back.

I've got the acerbis sahara tank supports, and some rad braces, but a couple og pounds of iron would make me feel better!

We get an extra metal bit that runs under the rear light, good for enough "xr" luggage - 3/4 days easy.

What stroupdog said.

Hey guys, some of your "I wants" are already available.

Acerbis makes a plastic fork guard for the XR400 that will work with a small modification.

The XR250R has a seperate decomp lever that should work on the 650R either left or right side. I also thought about using a hot start lever setup like from Dubach or Works Connection. I am nor sure why you need a decomp lever though. I dont use mine...ever.

Heavy duty clutch cover cover.

Yep I did and it said "DISCONTINUED"......glancy.

I'm sorry...I want lower guards.

Me too...instead I wound up buying these sticker-type guards for $9.99 (I couldn't find anyone that still stocked the old XR400 lower guards the would've fit)...I'll post to show once I get them in and judge them:

Husky to the XR courtesy phone.....

bust out a picture of your LOWER fork guards.

I know somebody here has them but they're like a $100 bucks or something...Too much coin for me.

Yep mine are the Precision Concept dilly yo's. About a hunsky.

husky123 wrote:Yep mine are the Precision Concept dilly yo's. About a hunsky.

Those are it...Yeti has them too.

I'm partial to the big obvious ones like the dirt bikes use. Here they are on Pikkos' converted fork setup.

How about fuel injection?

I'll get right on it.

What is the trick to starting it with out the decompresser lever?

Yeah, this would be good to have.

I just kick through until I find TDC and BAM. I have a Edelbrock on the bike, but dont think that matters.

Husky, do you use yours?
