HI Ric, yes I have several choices, one is the large middle clamp area type
from several major manufactures, like the protaper but they require the new
upper triple clamp which is  more expense. These provide more stability to
the front end and they hardly ever bend for the plus side. With the regular
size I have the Tag 5 bar that is aluminum but is 5mm thick wall so it is
advertised as 20% stronger than standard aluminum bars. these retail for
$83.00 verses $141.00 for the triple clamp then another $89.00 to $119.00
for the bars, if you would choose to go with the fat bar option. I am still
working on my DR350 goodies parts menu will have it available soon.

Jesse,
Can you suggest one that I could purchase to replace the stock setup? I like
the bar setup, but want to loose the weight and mine are tweeked a little.

Also, did you ever get your parts list compiled?

Hey list,

Does anyone have any advice as to a handlebar that is similar in height,
width, and bend to that of the original bar on a DR 350S?  I've been
looking at Renthals but I'm not sure of the current height and bend of
my current bar.  I've opted to get new bars now that I have Acerbis
rally pro handguards and dont feel like tapping the steel inserts in the
factory bars.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Mike in Ashland Oregon

A good bar choice for the DR350 is the Renthal  High Desert . This is a
higher bar (and stronger) that makes standing on the pegs much easier. It is
also slightly wider than the stock bars for more leverage and control. It is
the standard bar diameter so you don't have to buy an adapter.

Regarding shock springs for late model DR650SE.  I needed heavier springs for
mine so my son could ride with me.  I found them through White Bros.  I got a
heavier rear (Eibach) spring and heavier front progressive rate (Progressive
Suspension) springs from them.  The rear has a 7.1 kg/mm rate and I think the
White Bros part # is 32-574.  The front springs were 25-35# progressive rate
and I think the White Bros part # is PS1510.  If you need more info or phone
#'s just let me know.

Subject: (dr) Oil Changes

Hi all,

My question for today is regarding oil filter changing. I change my DR350
oil about every 800-1000 miles when I notice the gear change getting notchy.
UK riding is pretty demanding on oil with often low speeds and heavy loads
from the mud.

If I use exactly the same oil (fully synthetic) is there any harm in only
changing the filter every other oil change?

Opinions please!

Thanks

Steve

        That's exactly what I do----and have been doing for many years. I do
look the filter over for and suspicious debris------just in case.

I sometimes skip changing the oil filter too.  My 94 DRSE has 12k miles on
it.

I use synthetic blend oil and change it about every 1k miles.
