Wow! The DR is really looking cool Brad.
What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

That 1.3 gallons will be good for an easy 100 miles more, eh?

I wish. My mileage varies greatly depending on what I am doing. If I am on the highway cruising at 75 - 80 mph I get around 35mpg. When I am on the back roads and trails I get around 60 mpg. My total range with the new tanks is around 150 miles on average.

The DRZ sucks back the fuel at highway speeds, that's for sure. Ask me how I know

I preparation for warmer weather I removed the Aprilia "touring" windscreen and installed the black windscreen. The stocker is clear.
I also dialed in the suspension and rearsets.

Took my Tiger out today on the Cheeseburger Loop north of Houston. I have some more ideas on how to improve this 200 mile loop. 231.3 miles today.
We did not stop for may photo ops. This is all I got. Most of these were while we were still in Sam Houston national Forest.
Got an AltRider brand kick stand foot. It helps to keep it from sinking in to softer soil when off road. (...and asphalt when it is hot)

Mounted the OEM plexi headlight protection and the delivery man got me the DoubletakeMirrors, which were quickly mounted to my little black tiger. Yet to find some time now to go out there again...
When are they building that bridge/tunnel to the USA again?

Could you mount a couple wheels on the back to make it a wheelie bar?

If you park out in the rain, slip plastic sandwhich bags over them and elastics to hold them. Foam grips get soggy in the rain, but are nice on the hands.
