Hi Chris, I believe you would be more impressed with the CEET tall foam and
cover from either Ceet or another cover manufacturer this tall foam fits
right on the stock seat base and is a one piece thing and is superior to the
stock or the additional 1 inch section from Thumper. I have one and its
great.......Jesse

Hi list, I'm thinking about getting the 1" tall seat foam from thumper for
my DR350.  I've never put a seat cover on before.  Is there any tricks to
doing it and what kind of tools are needed for the job?

Thanks Chris

    Remove the screws holding both side panels off, pull the side panels
off, remove the two bolts (12mm head) holding the rear seat stay bracket.
Slide the seat back.

    For the seat cover, pull the old staples out with a good needle nose
pliers.  Use a staple gun from a hardware store with 1/4" long staples.
Pull the seat cover to slightly compress the foam as you staple it to the
seat pan.  Don't staple too close to the edge of the seat pan or the staples
will stick thought the seat cover.

Guys,

I was contemplating buying a jack for my DR650 so I could do chain =
maintenance without running the bike down the block. The solution: =
Install eyebolts (1/4 inch or larger) about 4 feet apart along the =
garage wall into the studs, as low as possible, aimed up and in toward =
the handlebars. Now I run the bike up against the wall, torque down just =
a little on some straps as if I were carrying the bike in a pickup truck =
bed, and use a hydraulic jack to lift the frame as high as I want. The =
bike's very stable, but I can still slide her sideways if I need to if I =
orient the floor jack the right way.

Duh!

Bill

It's not an issue Mikko!  There was NOTHING wrong with what you said and
absolutely NO offence was taken!!!  I just wouldn't like you to think we
didn't know where your country was!  I didn't know the Finnish currency was
the Mark though, but my phone's a Nokia like half the rest of the planet,
all the way from sunny Finland!  I know bugger-all else about your country
apart from that it sounds good to ride dual sport in and that Helsinki was
the venue for the winter Olympics a while back.  It's interesting reading
your mails and getting an idea of what it's like.

Hope your clutch goes in ok

Cheers!

I'll second what Andy said! We need more brief stories about life and
riding around the world. Of course, the DR and dual sport world that is.
This makes each one of us more knowledgable and worldly, if you will. It
gives us an idea of how the rest of the globe works. I can't speak for
everyone, but I really enjoy hearing stories from around the world. The
internet and e-mail has made the world a small place.

It seems like it's about $100.  Is that correct?

Also, I have heard that it doesn't fit as well as the stock airbox.  Is =
this true?  One guy said that its open on the back, or sides or =
something, and he had to duct tape it up to close it off.  I DONT want =
to do that, because I'm a major "looks" freak : )  Having duct tape all =
over my bike would drive me nutty. Is the box aluminum, or plastic?

Would I be just as well off to just cut the top off the stock airbox, =
and possibly get a different filter?  Would it perform as well, or VERY =
close?  How much is a new stock airbox?

I have read about the vortex airbox, but it seems pretty expensive.  And =
it at least looks heavy.

Thanks for any info!
