I would have your NoMar setup if I wanted to deal with the loss of garage space. Wheels might be my next best option, but I promised myself I would pay this off in less than 2 years.
I drive home this weekend and am off until the 15th, but I've been gone almost a month and really want to be there. Besides, I just had those Dakars mounted. I don't want to burn them up on a 100% road ride... even if a Gap camping trip does sound awesome. Have fun, guys.
It would be great to have a wingman! I don’t really have a definite route. Probably camp Monday night between here and the gap. Are you good with camping?
I am free and willing to tag along If you would like a wing man. I am low maintenance and know the area well. PM me.
It's your call. if not than stay safe and do a ride report and have fun. Just off ohio 33S Logan.
Unfortunatly, I guess I'm essential. I took 5 consecutive Fridays off to grind stumps, till, haul 5 yards of topsoil, rake, and plant grass. But this is what I have now.
I assume you want USD forks, then you'll definitely need different triples. I have a 2nd gen Bandit with Hayabusa forks. It wasn't too difficult. I had to use the stock steering stem but everything else is 'busa.
There are a lot more guys in England who do things like this and a few machine shops over there that make custom triples to match your bikes stem to the forks you want. The US dollar is strong vs the British pound so, even with overseas shipping, it's not as expensive as you might think. You might try trolling some of the Brit forums for better info than you can get here. A 650 is also considered a bigger bike over there so more guys are modding them than you'll find on this side of the pond.
Here's a pic of the top triple I had made in England.
