You deserve it! Sharp lookin machine. I'm about to order a few things from ZETA myself. Probably both brake res., heel gaurd, brake clamp, and brake clevis.
Also lookin to get some black plastics. My 09 will be a dirt version, similar to yours.

Barth,that looks way too sweet.I am doing the 18" front for mine also,I'm taking the avon I bought for the rear and throwing in the front and going a wider for the rear. Just have to love throwing these light bikes around in motard trim.All my buddies that have taken mine for a spin with it motarded are doing theirs up the same.

No disrespect to you but that was not my point
I dont get the whole moto thing and why people moto bikes.
I think it's more about the look of the bike than anything else. I personally think it makes the bikes look totally stupid and i often laugh at riders who ride past.
As for riding a moto bike of road with those tyres (I Don't think so)
If you mean a dirt road maybe but serious off road (NO WAY)
The moto racing i have seen is totally boring, But thats me just my opinion.
I think people who moto dirt bikes are try hard road bike riders who either can't afford a road bike or cant handle a road bike.
Seriously guys come on
Cheers

I know Im late on this one but...Cant afford a road bike? You can buy a ninja for less then I paid for my KLX, not to mention how expensive the parts are to convert it to a super moto. And havent you watched the super moto at the x-games? Full speed transitions from dirt to asphalt and back to dirt, tight turns and jumps. Cant do that on a street bike.

To supermoto
I love dirtbikes... I alway's wanted one. Offroad riding is awesome. I have a quad sitting in the garage doing nothing. Thank god for plowing snow I've used it a dozen times. You can't ride here or there, trial closed to dirtbike and quads. So I modify my klx to a street riding monster. It has the right balance of speed and power. I can drive over the speed limit and no one notices.

Here's a YZF450 vs. some gixxers for you.
The gixxers pull away in the straights but it's quite obvious that the YZF is superior in the turns.
The YZF is an off-road bike stock by the way. It was converted.

I used to ride liter bikes in the same area. The motard is so much easier and faster in the tight stuff.
I really don't understand why motard haters even bother to read these threads, unless their motive is to 'contribute' in the same fashion KLX07OZ did
Too bad. If he ever adds a motard to his stable, or much less rides one, he'll understand.
