I have the same year bike. Did your buddy cut the seat strap? Also, I see an aftermarket foot shifter, bars and kick stand pad. I have the same exhaust except I went with the full stainless version and an ECU from 550 Performance with the 91 Octane tune. My bike gets an average of 75-83 mpg depending on if I run my spark arrestor insert or not. This is a high quality video, if you keep it up you will gain my subscription! Thanks again.

Nice job & I drive a 95 Silverado but I like that. I've been LQQKing at different things like busses/box trucks to possibly do something like this but as a home on wheels as well. This is pretty cool but I do wonder how the weight wears on it's transmission? At least you have mechanical ability, I look for things that I hopefully never worry about? That doesn't happen enough but this is a great thing to see. Where did you come across her? peace
@throttleblipmetric16 күн бұрын
He actually told me he took it to get the transmission looked at and was told its in perfect condition and didn't need to be rebuilt. Thats around 100k miles so seems pretty promising. I like the sprinters but they are just so expensive to get a good one and then you're limited on space. Then again more agile and road friendly than the box trucks. I guess there is no "perfect" rig just gotta do what works for your needs.
@user-dv7hb2sc9m16 күн бұрын
Yes, I'm certain you did everything within your power to check her out & I was more speaking of MY concerns as someone who likes this vehicle but can't fix major stuff if it breaks. I really like it & hadn't ever seen anyone else use an ambulance so it sparked my interest ; kudo's, it serves your purposes well & again, I do like it. It is very stylish as well but you said it correctly = doing it for your own needs >> Intent & using what you have wisely. You've done that . Best of luck Sir

I've been looking for a 1st bike since the early 90's..... I'm saving money but in this time I've got a list of 7-8 dual sport bikes & I just realized this one recently. Also in my research I've gone thru & found out all the MOD's for every bike on my list & what type of money it'll cost along w/ how feasible it'll be getting around to those upgrades afterwards. This Rally version is on my short list but I've got a question for anyone who might know. Plastics >> > this bike has so much plastic that I'm kinda looking to see if it might be wise to take the plastics off, wrap -n- store them opting to purchase a secondary set that can be colored & done any way you like but some guys do this exact thing on their bigger bikes? I haven't looked up replacement or stock stuff but I'm guessing it would be high priced so would it be worthwhile to do this? Any thoughts on it? peace & I subb'd/HiT bell

I owned a 22 450RL and sold it. I put in an aftermarket ECU and it had plenty of power and ran great. The only bad thing is, it’s 70-80lbs to heavy. Otherwise I would have kept it. Bought a KTM 350 EXCF and never looked back. I did have to put a Vortex in to make it run good and there is the deal with any modern 4 stroke, they need a new ECU due to emissions.

I've got a 300L and a ktm 500exc. The 300L is dangerous on trails unless you respring it. Fine for gravel roads, great even. Lackluster on the highway, and maybe dangerous as a result of no ability to accelerate quickly at highway speeds. It also feels unnecessarily heavy. But easy to own. The 500 is scarily light on the highway but has plenty of umph to pass fast traffic. In the dirt its a dream, but the engine prefers more open trail at 50 mph and above. Still, I can crawl, lug or whatever in single track and it still feels super nimble. It's a dream, but it's biggest drawback to me is more a limit of physics not the engineers, if you want to ride a featherweight on the highway, you better expect to get blown around and the 500 is only 237lbs dry.
