Subject: (dr) Kouba Links, DRZ
The letter on the bottom is from a DRZ400 owner and is very similar to
the letters we recieve. I am posting it to answer some of the questions
about the DRZ suspensions and lighten my E-mail load. Hope this is OK.
Norm
Mike,
We are building a set of links to help the rear harshness by first
lowering
the rear by 3/4" and then setting the sag at 3" rather than the factory
reccomended 3.75" to maintain the stock geometry, turning etc. By doing
this we start off in a sweeter spot in the travel, (plusher) and
effectively
increase the usable travel by .75". They will also match the stock
spring rate for a rider in the 180 lb range rather than the present 220
lb+ range. We will be selling them for $70.00 including shipping. These
Links should be available in less than two weeks. We presently have
links available that will lower the rear 1.75", but are for lowering
purposes, and are not reccomended for the type of riding you are doing
without purchasing a considerably heavier spring and lowering the front
to
maintain the geometry. Thanks for your inquiry and hope this answers
your
questions.

I am planning on buying the Garmin GPS III+ for use on my DR. I'd like to
have the ability to connect it to a PC when I return home after a ride and
download the route into mapping software to see "where in the world I've
been riding"
I ride in remote backcountry areas and sometimes the trails are "all over
the place." Looking at a paper map it is sometimes difficult to tell which
trial I'm on because the trails are close together.
I'd like to get input on which mapping software will give me the most
detailed information on backcountry areas (where there are no roads, just
trails) and that also allows me to import GPS data so I know "exactly" where
I've been.
Another feature I'd need is the ability to use the map software to create a
route, then upload it to the GPS for a planned ride.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Doug

I think you will have your best luck with DeLorme's 3d State Topo maps.
They are on DVD only. Most are one state per CD. They include the
ability to upload your GPS routes into theirs. I do still have some
questions about what can be downloaded into the GPS III+ from the
software. The Mapsource CD is amazing to me. It contains the whole US.
The detail is exceptional. Its maps can be downloaded directly into the
GPS. It seems most software makers are assuming you will be using their
software in conjunction with a laptop.. as in car use.
The new DeLorme software does mapping as you want. It is a full 3d
application and you can actually go stand on a mountain and look out
across the terrain on your computer.. any view. Again, I don't know how
much in the way of maps, you can DL into the GPS unit... maybe only
waypoints. You may need both programs.

Hi Doug,
If you are in Washington, you can see an example of what the trails look
like on the Garmin "MapSource US TOPO" and as they show up on the GPS
screen. I've been on trails that dwindled away to nothing but
"turn-arounds", but was able to follow the trail by watching the GPS screen.
See http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gps_mapcds.html and scroll down the page.
There is a photo of the GPSIII+ screen and the section of the USFS map (Mad
River area!) is shown.
I do the same thing you are asking (with my GPS) every weekend (or at least
I did that last summer). I have perhaps 50 weekends of GPS tracks saved on
my computer.

With DeLorme you can upload waypoints and routes to the GPS. You can also
download routes, waypoints and tracklogs (the breadcrumb trail of your
day's travels) into your PC (from the GPS).
The ONLY way to load maps into your GPS is with Garmin's Mapsource CD. You
can also download routes, waypoints and tracklogs (the breadcrumb trail of
your day's travels) into your PC (from the GPS) with Garmin's MapSource CD.
We show some "MapSource US TOPO" maps on
http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gps_mapcds.html - scroll down the page to see
the pics. There is a good comparison of the US TOPO and a photo of a US
Forest service trail map.

You need Garmin's MapSource CDs if you want to load maps into the GPS. I'd
say this is #1 importance. Mapsource will also handle all the waypoint and
tracklog uploading/downloading.
DeLorme is neat for the 3D views.
