2011 DL650

[Chippertheripper]

An opportunity to put an old friend back in the stable has arisen, so this needs a new home to make room.
This should stay in the family here.
2011 wee, 55k-ish miles, Elka shock, Forks done up and with brace, reasonable PR4's, Tusk Panniers (with some street cred from a prior tip over from the PO), Skid Plate and Crash Bars, ABS delete with stainless Galfer lines (seriously impossible to bleed and get any feel up front), seat concepts seat (one minor tear in cover), Signal Dynamics Voltage monitor, Eastern Beaver (I think) fuse block, complete kit to do fork seals and bushings (next maintenance item), valves checked at 50k by PO, Madstad bracket with some aftermarket screen, some other less dorky mirrors, and maybe a couple other things I'm forgetting but I'll edit this accordingly as I remember.
$2300.
PO may chime in if I missed anything. Get your dad bike here.



goddam pic rotation...
I don't know how to fix that.

1.) Good deal
2.) dang only 5 bills by you?

[nhbubba]

A marvelous motorbike.

Eastern Beaver (I think) fuse block

It is.

some other less dorky mirrors

Ayetalian mirrors; dems Aprillia. And I should have kept them.

[Chippertheripper]

53196, actual current miles.
That means I personally put just under 1k on it.

I bet she'd sell right quick for a clean two K after I hand you three bills for that Elka while I'm doing the fork seals/bushings in my garage for you.....

We all know the Elka is the thing that makes this bike valuable at all.

[Chippertheripper]

Bueller.

[tls25rs]

Maybe advertise the Elka at $2300 comes with a bike wrapped around it

[nhbubba]

Is nobody putting together Elka packages for the DL anymore?!

That sucks. This setup rides really, really well. I have a Penske 3-way setup with similar fork treatment on my SV and I always blown away at how the Elka gave me 9/10ths of the handling with 2x the compliance. The tuning was balls on for my weight and needs.

you should ride it here, tour a bit, trade it for a busa, and ride it back

Ya dig?

[Chippertheripper]

I don’t do i4’s, sorry. I’m strictly on the ones and twos.
I’m also going on another multi day bicycle ride on Friday, this burning up my eff off time for a smidge.
(How I managed to sneak that in now is a miracle)

[Chippertheripper]

In your face.
Wrong time of year, I know.

[Chippertheripper]

Bueller.

[Chippertheripper]

New year.

I really needed one of these when I went out to South Dakota. The FJR is nice but the lower weight of the 650 would have been perfect.

[Chippertheripper]

come 'n get it. it's prime for a new home.

[bassomatic]

I really needed one of these when......

Don’t you have a 750 that you need to get out on the track?

[Chippertheripper]

Also, bump.

[Chippertheripper]

I brought home girl to the house yesterday for a bath.
I may even ride it later, but I’d rather ride it onto someone’s trailer.

[SVRACER01]

So whatcha getting as a replacement?

[Chippertheripper]

I have a downpayment on the 790advR.

[SVRACER01]

And you want me to buy a suzuki. HA!

[Chippertheripper]

have you seen your screen name or avatar?

[SVRACER01]

No. Why?
