[QUOTE="ShinyPartsUp, post: 667113, member: 2341"] :thumbsup: Yeah, I think I'll keep the rugrats. I've done extensive searching on three websites/forums and no rad fin guards for the '08 and '09 KLR's that I can find. I started a thread but no response as yet. The only fin guard on a GENII KLR was fabbed by the owner. Thanks for the heads up on the map. I ordered one off Amazon and get it on the 17th. I did another 75 miles on the KLR on slick/tricky logging roads today. The grades up and down were pretty steep. Fishtailed so severely once, I am shocked I didn't go down. Going up a steep mud road with a few remnant pieces of gravel was interesting -- finally got off and turned the bike around and down. By the end of the ride today I'm finally near the wear bars on the rear tire. I went to the stealership and they wanted $125 for a rear tire. I told them I would pay a bit of a premium over the $70 I found on the internet. The wouldn't go below $115. she offered me a great deal on a pair of stocker Dunlops I got only 1500 miles on. The other guy behind the counter laughed when I said no way. so ... I'm thinking I'm getting ready for Mexico. A few more thousand miles and I'll feel better. I'm planning a few hundred mile ride in the Spring through and around the Umpqua Forest to Diamond and Crater Lakes via logging/back roads to get ready. Some of the roads are steep enough around here my ears pop. I'm also SERIOUSLY considering custom boots from Wesco that one of the personal contacts you gave me suggested.
