I've got an upcoming trip with a group from one of my camping forums this weekend down in Austin and have been gearing up to take Roxy for her maiden roadtrip. So far I've just been riding around town with her.
When I bought her she still had the stock tires date stamped 2012 so I knew I would want to get her new shoes before any serious trips. There were also some other upgrades that I felt I needed to do before too much fun was had. One was to upgrade the subframe bolts, a known weak point with KLRs, and the other was to add the Wattman Thermobob, a bybass in the cooling system for more efficient and uniform temps throughout the engine.
I'll use this thread as a trip/ride report.
I must have been on the nice list cuz Santa[emoji318] brought me new tubes and tires (Shinko 705), Ogio stealth saddlebags, an Altrider 25L drybag, a Coleman Maddog seat cover, and some Tusk hand mitts. Also my girlfriend got me a cool scratch off map of the US that you scratch off the states as you visit them. I'll post more pics or videos when I install some of this stuff.
