    Since I love my 07 610TE and KTM is not bringing 690RR I think that I would want to build a fun Dakar 610. I'm not racing but I want a bike just a capable.

    So I have 07 610TE
    - uncorked with jet kit and LV
    - idle adjusting screw installed
    - clutch cable mod
    - pivot pegz
    - TrailTech dual Xeon lights with a separate switch
    - hand guards
    - LED Baja Designs rear fender
    - OEM rack
    - Skid plate
    - one down on the front sprocket
    - Better than OEM battery
    - wired for Garmin Zumo 550
    - Dual rim locks on the back

    I need:
    - IMS tank
    - steering damper
    - raise my handlebar for 90% stand up riding
    - re-do my suspension
    - upgrade my stock seat

    What am I missing? I'm riding mostly desert multi day trips but come back each day to the camp.

    re-enforce the rear subframe.
    A front fender
    Windscreen

    For a "real" dakar bike you need 200 mile range. I was recently told by a smart guy that means 200 miles of sand dune range, which is a bit more than you'd think.

    Nope, that bike looks completely useless. It's practically a harley. You better send it to me and I'll 'fix' it and test it out for a few thousand miles...

    Hey Huskyte610e, love your work. The beast looks like she is more than a showpiece, what do you ride her in?
