Not only do we own obsolete motorcycles we're a bunch of sniveling crybabies too.

Isaac,
There ain't no such animal! If you want it to have radiator scoops,
you'll have to buy a water cooled bike. I have an Acerbis tank on mine.
Fits good, holds more gas than any other after-market tank. Looks?
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Subject: RE: (dr) air box
As an uninterested 3rd party, my opinion is that the Vortex airbox enhances
the sound of the DR in that it sounds deeper and more throaty, but it is in
no way loud or intrusive. That's with a stock exhaust....with an
aftermarket you won't know the airbox is there by listening.

Subject: RE: (dr) 350SE clutch plates
Hi Mikko,
Having replaced my clutch drive plates last week I had to take the cover off
again yesterday to put new springs in...for the few pounds/dollars/roubles
they cost you may as well do them all at once. With the old ones and new
plates it wasn't possible to adjust the clutch so it wouldn't slip under
abuse without having it dragging with the lever pulled in, making finding
neutral even more impossible than usual!. New springs sorted this.
Cheers!

Subject: RE: (dr) DR350 Length
Hi Bryan, if you have a box trailer with sides higher than the fenders your
in trouble because it is 87 inches long. If the trailer is a flat bed it is
less than 6 ft from contact patch to contact patch on the tires. From the
front of the front tire to the rear tire contact patch center is 6 foot. You
can try to fit the bike in diagonaly and maybe you will be OK. Hope this
helps....Jesse

I have a 4x6 trailer with sides, most dirt bikes fit fine when they are in
the trailer diagonally. You can get two bikes in with the tail gate down,
with the rear tire hangs out a little.

Bryan,
The diagonal of a 4x6 trailer should be about 86" so you might be able to fit
it in diagonally, but I think the bike is longer than 6'. Good luck!

Ben,

automotive work, S&S builds trikes and does conversions on all types of
vehicles for the physically impaired. Bruce has been working on lowering
links which would be of higher quality than most currently on the market.
I have copied him on this reply so that he can give you the details (Hi
Bruce!)
Hope this helps,
