I would do this, but the intake boots from a dealer are almost $30 EACH. I don't mind a good used set, but since this is for the 650 and I'm not sure that the bolt spacing is the same I don't want to go spending $35, let alone $120, on parts I may have to turn around and resell (usually at a loss).

Got a dent in my fuel tank. My fault, I was trying to get all the fuel out & had it resting on a pair of jack stands. Thought all was good, then the tank fell over & got dented. Should have drained it while on the bike. Lesson learned. My question - has anyone out there tried compressed air to

Looking for the intake boots (cylinder side, not airbox side) and headlight assembly (Bracket and all if you have it). Appreciate any help guys; cheapest set of boots I'm finding is $35+ when you take shipping into account, and that's not really money I want to spend on an off chance they fit for

Adventure bikes are usually twins. Dual Sports are the thumpers (F800, DRZ, KLX, that sort). Touring bikes and cruisers definitely make the most sense for the entry into the market. The market is HUGE, torque is valued, fuel economy is valued, raw power not so much. Entry price into some of them i
