Still in concept but I made one for the Dakar that works perfectly. Gave it a good thrashing the other day without issue. On the Dakar Husky concept The slider is an off the shelf item from Husqvarna/KTM part No: 8000H7668 I am trying to source the sliders from the states as the price in Aus is horrendous Aus$120.00. I have found then in the states for US$30.00 I'm not sure how they can justify 3x higher. Its fecking criminal. It's even half the price in Russia FFS So it may come down to just selling the bracket and customers source their own slider. If anyone is interested please give me a show of hands. The development cost of this one is up there and I would need some commitment before being able to order. Not sure on the price as yet. The more I order, the cheaper it gets. Not cast in stone, but probably around $100 for the bracket
To do list: Brake pedal Tail tidy Raising the rear suspension for the guys that have done the YZ front end (I have 1 axle kit available BTW) Instrument cluster protection Rear Rack/ grab handles
Does anyone else feel the footpegs are too far forward for standing and riding? I took this bike for a ride and feel it has the same issue as the BMW 650 singles. The pegs are too far forward and standing riding stance is uncomfortable.
Can you make something like this for the rear fender? That's the one that folks have breakage issues with. Also let us know if we can buy any of your stuff, it looks great!
Fender support or a tail tidy? I've had requests for a tail tidy. I will have a look at the viability of both. You can buy my parts.
Just done the modifications on the chain guide. Going to order another prototype today. Still having difficulty getting the sliders here in Aus. Seems to be no issue in USA/Europe. Following priority list: Brake Pedal Rear raising Knuckle Rear disc protector - shark fin Tail tidy - OEM tail support Footpeg relocation - viability investigation at least Rear rack
Looking forward to the brake pedal and either a tail tidy or rear support. Glad to see someone is making quality farkles for the folks with this bike. Have had my TR for 3 years now and loved every minute--thought I was completely farkled until I found this thread
Sorry for sounding dumb but what are the benefits of a chain guard and how will it affect/improve the TR?
Its a guide. Keeps the chain going onto the sprocket in rough conditions. Sticks, stones, mud, etc. Not needed for on road riding
Would it improve the rear end chatter when going over rough corrugations on dirt/gravel, especially uphill curves etc.? Or is this a rear shock issue?
Maybe a good idea to make something that would allow a better rear shock to be used. Something along the lines of your axle kit. Of course this is just a suggestion. I cant afford your axle kit yet but i like that the option is there if i ever find the funds.
I am looking to make a new rear link "Knuckle". This could be adapted to take a different shock. But not really a viable option unless there is consensus on which shock to use
Is there a shock that comes as a "base model" and optional upgrades to have all the bells and whistles? Id say thats the only real option seeing everyones huge variety of budgets.
Just a quick test fit. Still welding and polishing to be done The plastic guides still haven't arrived but the brackets will be ready latest Tuesday. I had 5 made as a prototype run. 2 are spoken for so I have 3 available. I should have the pricing sorted by the end of the day. I am waiting on the cost of welding. Anyone interested please drop me a line. I am stoked with the fit and look. For a change things just worked out!!
