Very cool. Did you make that tank yourself?

Approved Vendor : Total Composites
Back in Germany, a friend of mine and myself constructed two of those tanks. Unfortunately that was 13 years ago (pre-digital age...) therefore there are not too many pictures available.
We both owned the same type of bikes and planed to travel across Africa. But at different times. Back then, our bikes were fairly new to the market and people couldn't believe that we would do that to our bikes :ylsmoke:
Anyhow, by the time I left for my trip, my bike was 3 years old and already had 100.000km on the clock:bike_rider: About 4000km into my trip, in Mauretania, my bike crapped out on me in the middle of the Sahara desert... Bummer! Brought he bike to Dakar. Visited the start of the Dakar-Dakar Rally and after 3 months I booked a flight home.
Anyhow, that bike was amazing! Too bad they are not sold in North America.
After our trips, we sold those tanks and I'm proud to say that they are both traveling the world!

Here's my new bike, have only ridden it about 100 miles so far, lots of fun though! Bought it with 12k miles for $1200! Bought a pipe and dial a jet kit for it so far.

We let them rest for a bit while we rebuilt a section of road...

Well, got the 2002 640 Adventure today and it's the crappiest weather imaginable once again down here in the Great Wet South. Haven't gotten to go for a ride just yet but here's a lousy iphone pic at any rate!
Hi!
Next to the Kaw-powered 48" Exmark walk behind...
This is the 3rd LC4-powered machine I have owned... first was a 2002 LC4E and after that an '03 625 SXC. Looking forward to putting this thing through the paces.

Got any pics/details of you 2 up on the 640? I've been wanting a 640 as it'll be better than my XRL for 2 up riding.
Ride report for that trip?
Thanks

I put up a gallery and wrote a little in each caption on my SmugMug to read like an RR. Here.

You know, I am not sure what risers they are. A few people have seen them and called them Rally Risers but not sure what that means. I personally like the Rox Risers that allow just about infinite adjustment of the bars.
No stabilizer on this one, although I had them on both my previous LC4's. Colin over at Stenhouse Racing makes a really nice setup and knows his KTMs. I might put one on in the future, but not in the budget right now.
I bought this beauty with 8500 miles on it. I can't think of a single thing it needs. Came with a bunch of stuff not even mounted on the bike... Touratech luggage rack extension, TT headlight guard, skid plate, brand new set of tires, suitcase racks, loud airhorn (always wanted one of these!), speed bleeders on the forks, the bar risers, a better looking recovered seat, a better looking high fender, probably some other stuff I am forgetting.
Can't wait for the weather to break for her maiden voyage tomorrow. Supposed to FINALLY have a nice sunny day here.
