So I'm getting the KLR ready for the Shenandoah 500 and figured I'd share. Today I painted it and changed to a K&N air filter. I'm still waiting on my D606's to show up and then I'll throw those on, change the front sprocket to 14T, replace the rear sprocket, new chain, and some other minor things. Anyway, for painting, I'm going black and hopefully I'll get around to adding some design to it (probably skulls and some reflective KLR badging)... we'll see. But as for now:
All torn apart:
The plastic stripped of stickers, wet sanded and cleaned:
Didn't spend a lot of effort on the backs but made sure the stickers were still visible:
Got the tank back on:
And the air filter:
I'll get some more shots when it's all done and if I end up putting graphics on before the ride. Anyway, that's how I spent my Monday. Meant to do it this weekend but this kept me busy:
Had my first son!! (3 daughters up until now):
