I can't help myself:lol8:
The stock 'pegs on the Kinlon motard are a bit small for my big feet, and without the rubber insert they are not very road boot friendly either:eekers:
I had to weld a small section of 2.5mm steel plate to the original footpeg mount but that was no big deal. Converting beck to the OEM pegs is simply a matter of removing the welded in piece and putting it back together again.
Also fitted a toolbag from a Suzuki DR-Z400. I had to use a small rectangle of 8mm urethane between the bike's guard and the underside of the toolbag 'cause the Zook guard is more curved the the Kinlon's. Does the trick though!:thumbsup:
Great job on the bear traps and tool bag! :thumbsup: Looks like you're going fo the "Blackest Kinlon" in Oz. You a rum runner or what?
:lol8:

Nah, I gave up the booze twenty years ago:lol8::lol8::lol8:Believe it or not, black is one of my favourite colours:icon10:
As an aside to the footpeg mods, I also trimmed about 12mm off the rear brake master cylinder pushrod to lower the brake pedal height, it was way too high to start with and need a lift of the foot to activate it, not good in an emergency:rolleyes1:
Now I only need to move my ankle in about 20mm to get on the rear anchor quick:thumbsup:
Looks like you're building yourself a formidable machine there! She got a name?
Was meaning to ask you, what do you think about the stock saddles on your bike?

I think the seat was designed to go with the small eight litre fuel capacity:eekers: It grows teeth after about 45 minutes:lol8::lol8: if it really bugs me later I might get it reupholstered. It's not like my butt isn't padded enough:rolleyes1:
Fitted a set of cheap plastic brush guards today, in black-what else?:lol8:
I think that's probably the best looking Kinlon of that model I've seen. You take great care of your bikes! It still running okay? I guess its coming up on summer for you now yeah? Got any rides planned?

I was thinking if you look now mods and exploits for the DS arent that great and since the Online features are coming I was thinking that mods and stuff will become more available around December Since it takes time to do all that stuff Anyways when do you guys think there will be more?
hi will sweet looking Sm mate keep up the good work
Can you please take some pictures of inside of the front headlight plastic? I would like to see the construction and screws. I am going to buy headlight and plastic the same as yours. But there aren't any useful pictures from inside on the internet.
OMG, I didn't see that this is very old topic, sorry. But If anyone can take the photos, that would be very nice.
Polisport has a selection of headlights that are similar to Wills. Most, if not all, aftermarket headlights are held on by straps. These attach at the forks. Some headlights are adjustable, some are not. Some have halogen bulbs, some do not. You have to do your shopping carefully to make sure you get what your bike can handle. Usually the price will tell you that you found a good light.
