2-up on a dr800
Hi,
I am looking for an alternative for my XL600 as it doesn't quite have the grunt for 2-up and luggage. Under weight the front end becomes a bit too bouncy for my liking too  Does anyone have any opinions on the dr800 - the one I am looking at is a 93 with 20,000 miles on it BTW. Thanks, Paul

Dr 800
Hi, I've had my DR from new. I bought it in '98 with a 3 box pannier system. Since then I've modded as the years have gone by.
It's good 2 up however the passenger tends to slide down the seat. I had my seat reworked last year with a built up step for the passenger, a la V-Strom. I have used the bike in the UK and Cyprus. (I lived out there for just over 2 years). The only problem was when the temp got up to around 40, the carbs couldn't handle the heat on the motorway. So-far I've covered 30K miles. A new rear shock and clutch have been the only things I've HAD to replace. The rest has been changed........because I could. http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/gar...hicle&vid=3258 Since the pictures were taken I've fitted crash bars, spot lights and the modified seat. I'll add some more pics soon. If you want any more info drop me a line. Andy.

XLV650, perhaps? More reliable, less vibes, greater usable rev range.
