My ride

When I bought her(second hand), her color was old-man-grey.

Now she looks like that ... because I'm far too young for an old-man-grey bike.

Now, she lives up to her full potential.
Excellent engine, excellent suspension, excellent brakes and an optimal transmission.
She's now a real multi-purpose bike: She's a very good touring bike for 2 persons, you can drive her off-road and she has even a few genes from a super moto bike now.

I'm quite happy with her. :D

[Fourvalve]

[Surrlibrumm]

No guessing anymore what "it" is. ;)

I like it because my favorite color scheme and graphics on any bike to this day is the DRZ400's that were being modifed for racing by Yoshimura and had all the blue/yellow colors with the Youshimura graphics. I wanted to do that to my old DRZ, but the graphics were too expensive.

Please show how you did the front fender!!!????? With pics if possible.

This is possibly the coolest looking strom out there. Not my fav colors, but it's still cool!

I've got quite a few PM's about the front fender of my "battle cruiser":

Front fender extension: Not my idea, sorry. I saw a pic in the german V-Strom-Forum and

get in contact with the designer. She made just one for her self. I got her to make a

copy. So it's not a "just bolt on" fender extension.
It was horrible expensive (350 Euro / +shipping fees / = + 500 US$) til I get it here.

I had to cut it in the right size, cut the holes for the lamps and had to construct the

mounting. It's a lot of work.

If you like to get in contact to order a copy of this front fender contact Ivi under

her E-Mail-address.

I have a few pics but not specially the front fender alone.

I loaded the pics to my website. You can download them.

The other side

From below. You see the 3 attachement points.

http://www.kczum.ch/moto/fotos/stroemli/SSSYSO_pic_003.jpg

The construction I did the the middle attachement point. I clamped it to the subframe

for the head-lights.

There is now another V-Strom (a 650 this time) with the same front fender. And a few of

you will like it more, because it's all black.
