I just wanted to give you guys an update. I rode the bike from Las Vegas to Fargo ND. It took just over 6 days with minor problems. The speedometer cable fell out somewhere in SD and got one flat. It was a very enjoyable and slow ride.

SpudRider · 06-19-2015, 11:16 PM

Good for you.

Wow!! That's quite a ride! I've been to Fargo. In the early 1960's Boeing sent my dad to four different states to work on the minuteman missile silos that dot many mod western states. I was in 3rd and 4th grade, so went to a bunch of different schools for a couple years. Great Falls, Montana, where I spent one winter finding out what 30 below is like (I'm originally from Seattle!!); then Rapid City South Dakota; the thriving metropolis of Parshall, North Dakota, and finally, Warrensburg, Missouri. Then back to Seattle.

That's not bad. One flat, and a speedo cable.

Yeah it wasn't so bad, I ended up getting a new tire with heavy duty tubes. I did not take much luggage other than a back pack and stayed in motels every night so no camping gear necessary. It was a slow ride since the bike could barely hit 50 mph or so. I need to regear if I want to go faster. A couple more pics from the road.

Nice looking bike. that's a long ride.

Weldangrind · 06-21-2015, 01:33 AM

You look like the Road Warrior. I bet nobody messed with you.

I'm glad to hear you had a good ride. Those minor problems are not enough to wreck a terrific journey.

Thanks Weldangrind, I have taken long rides in the past but I usually ride much bigger bikes. This was so much fun because of the bike itself, I had a couple of people tell me to get a real bike but then when they would see where I was coming from the tune would change. I specially enjoyed running into the weekend warriors that would tell me that they had a huge hog but they would only ride it on weekends and usually just to go to Starbucks to get coffee. I really enjoy riding and I own a Hog but I think you can have fun with any bike. I really like this little chinese bike and to be able to prove that they can last and take on a long ride with no problems.

That's exactly how I feel.

After I am done with work in ND and get back home I am going on a three week trip to Baja with some friends. I am thinking about taking the little bike along for the ride. I don't need to go really fast in Baja so it might be a good compromise. I made a luggage rack for it but I haven't finish fitting it so that might stop me from taking it along. I need to take a lot of gear to Baja and this bike is a little limited on what it can carry now. Just before I lost the speedo cable it read almost 10k but I wasn't sure if it was km or miles. The speedo is a little weird for my liking so maybe now it would be time to upgrade. Any ideas out there? I am thinking magnetic pick up. I want to see if one of the ones on Amazon would do the job but I want one that reads miles not km. I appreciate the input. By the way I had to cut the side stand and grind and weld it to make it look stock because it would almost stand upright the way t came.

The $12 bicycle speedometers from Walmart work well. They are very accurate and can be set to MPH or KPH and have a resetable trip meter as well as a bunch of other functions. The only thing they lack is a back light so not good for riding after dark.

SpudRider · 06-23-2015, 12:06 AM

Make sure you get a bicycle speedometer with a wire. The wireless units are scrambled by a motorcycle's ignition system.

Do any of you know what make of aftermarket pegs I could use on this bike. I took it to the local bike shop and I couldn't find a set that fit well.

Aftermarket pegs for a KLR-650 fit my old Shineray just fine. Don't recall where I got them but they bolted right on.
