In a word: no. I'm no expert though . . . just what I have heard from those who have tried it. The work that the trans needs to put up with more power is more than just a valve and new clutch pack. A quick search of the DTT site shows $2,100 for *parts* to do it right (including the torque...

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying you need to increase your budget. Just commenting that for what you have budgeted, expect to see higher mileage trucks in rougher condition. Stick to a budget that works for you. :) You can build (have built) a 47RE that will put up with virtually any...

It is the closest thing to a 'dirt bike' that BMW makes. Like all things BMW, it isn't cheap. To the matter of it being 'worth your effort', all depends on you, and what you want to accomplish with it. Its a relatively expensive, 50+hp, 245 pound (dry, advertised) bike, with a decent...

Unfortunately, the budget you listed in your first post will put you into trucks that have been worked pretty hard. Add another 50% to that, and you are starting to get back into lower mileage, better condition vehicles. 10K is a good budget that will put you into a nice 2nd gen ram 4x4 diesel...

$2,000 2006 TW 200 (blue), clean AZ title. +/- 2,800 miles. Good condition - there are a few small dents & scratches, but nothing major. No known mechanical or electrical problems. Starts/runs great. This bike may have been lowered. I don't have any others to compare it to, but an...

My Canon G9 died right before a trip to Mexico, and the only waterproof camera I could get my hands on without paying through the nose for overnight shipping was the Fuji finepix. (yes, I know the G9 is not waterproof -- but I wanted a waterproof camera or a waterproof housing for the G9)...

I just wish 'orange' would figure out how to make a bike last more than a year without doing oil changes at every other stop light. --or-- I wish 'der Korp would figure out how to build a suspension that wasn't mush.

They are two very different bikes, built for different purposes. The F650GS is a more street oriented bike than the X-challenge. Lower, wider, seat. Less suspension. They work great on the nicer roads (forest roads, two-track, etc). You can quickly overwhelm the suspension when the terrain...

To bad it doesn't have the extended bed option . . . I'd live with it hanging out the back of my Dodge if it did.

You're right -- it's a great location. I stopped by earlier this morning to drop some 'stuff' off for Roseann -- beautiful setting for the event. I also received a text message from a friend who is on the road today (work related). He is seeing a lot of 'expo' type vehicles -- all but one...

I don't have the weight or dimensions here at work. I'll be home for the weekend, but will have to hunt down a scale (I haven't owned a scale in . . . well, ever).

Due to the recent acquisition of a new ARB 'fridge, my old Waeco CDF-40 needs a new home. It is the 'old' style, with the rounded lid. The lid latch was broken when I bought it a couple years ago. I haven't replaced it since I always strap it down anyway. I have heard new latches are...

Or . . . just lash down the action packer. I've been doing it for years, with no problems to date. Pelican cases are cool, but they are cost prohibitive for many of us -- particularly for items that won't get damaged by bumping together, rattling around a bit, or by getting a little dirty.

Speaking of things that have nothing to do with nothing . . . Graffiti seen at Campo Archelon last week: Kant Take Mexico :coffeedrink:

Husky makes some good bikes. BMW owns them, you know. :snorkel: All kidding aside (but not kidding about BMW owning Husky), it's all about finding the bike that fits you (ergonomics), and your riding style.

. . . and then RUN!!! to the nearest BMW dealer and take a G650GS out for a ride. Once you do it, you'll know why. sorry, it had to be said! But as long as you're there, take a 800GS out for a ride too. But leave your credit cards and all bank information at home. Those things are like...

Voltage monitors are a good idea. Signal Dynamics makes some simple (to install) units. I have one of their 'single' units on my motorcycle (well, it's on the workbench, waiting to go on the bike), and one of the dual units in the Jeep. Simple 2-wire installation. Simple single-LED display...

Yes, it can be that simple. There are advantages to the more sophisticated systems -- but that simple relay will indeed work.
