My new XR650R 07

Hi guys,

I live in Angola and bought in 2009 a XR650R 2007...also the happy owner of a Ktm 950 Adv 2004.

I´ve been riding it in some raids...and for fun at the weekends.







Cheers,

César

Glad your up and running again! The new front end looks great what did you use? And I take it your bike comes all street legal already?

Yes, street legal already.

I've mount CRF fork, a CRF triple clamp adapted for XR, Magura EX, Polisport UFX front fender, Polisport MMX headlight, pro circuit exhaust, and new foot pegs.

Where are you fitting the 2 expansion vessles ?, look a bit big for extra fuel

expansion vessles? what's that?

i'll make a upgrade very soon for high milage and rally ride

Thanks for the info and pics on the forks you fitted. I love that custom rally equipment too! I see the rally bike with fairing also has the super-heavy duty skid plate with tool pockets.

AHAHH...ok, ok, 2/3 of water 1/3 of wisky probably a good deal

Bajuba,

where in Angola are you? I ask because there is a possibility I might visit there, with a 4x4, but probably will tow a bike along.

Luanda, ok let me know, but bring the XR

Looks good

hi, i modded my footrests by moving them backwards 40mm, + down 20mm, i then made new outers & welded them around the std serated f/rests, did make it much easier on hills, otherwise ive just got renthal bars

ohoohh...nice mod

Kiwi, can you post a pic? how tall are you? I'm 6'1" and I feel my feet are too close to the bars. I changed the bars to Moose ATV bars, like 3" higher.

sure, im not tall[ ducks disease], i did it due to feeling too close to bars when hill climbing, i also love power sliding on gravel roads at high speed[why ive modded my mtr for hi rpm power], it allows more weight on r/wheel to aid drive out of corners

Just put my hands on this one too

very nice wanna sell them rear tanks

Yeah tell us all about the tanks they look great....?.....never seen them before.

Hi guys, those rear thank are 5L hand made carbon fiber.

They were produced in Portugal by local manufacturer.

The good news: If you want a set I can prepare it for you

yes plz very much i want a set ,,,, can you organize these for me

Babuja,

As you know I definitely also want a set of those - but wasn't aware you could facilitate in getting a set of them: great, yes please, thanks!
Put me down for a set please, and I can pay you coming Friday when we meet or I'll pay Christo in your name, don't care.
And, because you probably dunno Sean yet I'm more than prepared to do same for him in his name - so better shout pls Seany, we will sort out whatever laters. Oh, and no offense to anyone for being this forward pls, it just may help us and B with his finances (he's about to start a long trip in Southern Africa).

What I am definitely interested in is how the backside of the airfilter-side tank looks like: is it like a standard (closed) sidepanel or has it maybe some vents so as to simulate an opened panel? Oh, whatever it will be, I will have a set, just to be clear.
I know this bike is far away from you now, but if you can arrange a photo then that would be great.

Last but not least: you lucky lucky git you, that new bike looks absolutely awesome!!

Hi guys,

I'll try to post more photos and update soon about rear tank...pls be patience
