Subject: (dr) Tires etc...

I just bought a '98 DR 350. The tires need replacing so I ordered Pirelli
MT 70s for the front and rear. I do almost all of my riding on the street
but I plan to join some local dual sport group rides as they come up.

I put Michelin Sirac tires on my sons XT 225. I was riding that before I
bought the DR. The Michelin are great on the road, but I would guess they
are suicide in the mud. I really hate mud and will go to great lengths to
avoid it, so this hasn't been a problem.

I know most off roaders say the MT 21 tires are the best for on/off road
with a definite bias toward off road, but what about those of use that
spend nearly all our time on the road with occasional jaunts into the
National Forests or local woods.

William,
    I'd go for something like the dual sport tires used on the larger
bikes. I have the Avon Gripster H on my BMW R100GSPD, and like them
better than any others I've tried. You will sacrifice a LOT off road,
but for forest service roads they will work if you drop the pressure.

Bill,

While at the Powersports Industry Show in Indianapolis this past
February, I discovered two neat new dual sport lighting units from UFO.
They are a headlight assemblY and a taillight/"fenderette" assembly
featuring integral turn signals.

Although I doubt that these units are D.O.T. approved, you may find them
suitable to your needs.

The headlight assembly really cleans up the front end of a bike. And, the
small, integral turn signals should be extremely durable, safely tucked
out of harms way.  When used in conjuntion with a small, round
speedometer assembly (Baja Designs) to replace my stock DR350SE headlight
and instrument assemblies, shaved nine pounds off of the front of the
bike.  There are a few glitches with the headlight assembly though:  it
is not a halogen unit, though bright (replacement bulbs are cheap!); the
mounting straps are for inverted forks, so you will either have to modify
them with zip-ties, or use O.E.M. mounting straps for an off-road DR 350
or an RMX 250; the unit also sits a little low, so you will probably want
to fabricate some upper mounting brackets (possibly from the original
front turn signal brackets) in order to raise the assembly a couple of
inches.

Although I have not yet received one of the taillight assemblies, it
should be just what the doctor ordered in most cases.  It looks similar
to the O.E.M. unit found on KTM RXCs, fitting under the rear fender, and
with a small, black "fenderette" just the right size for mounting a
license plate.  Although the taillight assembly will not work very well
with stock DR 350 rear fenders, it should work wonderfully with the new
MX style rear fender from Maier plastics, or, especially, the new DR-Z
rear fender.

I have 6 of them on back order from the importer.  If they don't get them
soon, I plan to have my friend Billy Liles pick some up while he's in
Italy visiting his partners at Tecnosel Seats & Stickers.  Give me a call
Tuesday if you would like to purchase one.

Happy trails,

Al
