One of the most fun things to do during the colder winter months is adding new mods to your dual sport or adventure motorcycle. I just got three awesome new Kawasaki KLR 650 upgrades, and I'm stoked to get them on the bike!
First up, the 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 center stand from Happy Trails moto. This adjustable KLR 650 center stand is incredibly easy to install and works really well with the bike. Installing the KLR center stand took no more than 15 minutes and was as easy and removing and replacing four bolts on the footpeg mounts.
Next up is the 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 windscreen risers from our friends at 3D Cycle Parts. These KLR windscreen risers move the windscreen up and also change the angle so that the rider gets a lot better protection than with the stock windshield on the KLR.
Finally, a must have accessory for any bike that gets ridden for many highway miles, the Atlas Throttle Lock. The Atlas Throttle Lock install was a quick and easy process, and I'm very stoked o have it on my Kawasaki KLR 650. This physical throttle lock holds your throttle tube in place so you can maintain speed on the highway, but doesn't impede your ability to reduce speed or decelerate when you need to.

@BigRockMoto 2 года назад

I would want some sort of sliding mount for the windshield, for easy adjustment up and down. Those Atlas throttle locks are an amazing product, I used one of my T7.

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure there are other companies that make something similar that is also adjustable. I'm pretty happy with where these are, though.

@adventurefarmer7374 2 года назад

Hey Ian, I make a set of billet aluminum adjustable pitch windscreen risers for the 2022 KLR650. Here a couple links to some first customer review posts on FB. I may soon develop a quick up/down bracket system to tuck it out of the way for off-road riding. facebook.com/groups/166628738668764/permalink/343219524343017 facebook.com/groups/166628738668764/permalink/344514740880162

I don't have a KLR yet but love watching all of your upgrade videos. The center stand setup is slick, very easy to install and you didn't seem to struggle at all raising it up. Waiting to see your experience with the windshield brackets. I imagine they are less money than a Madstad setup. Got to like how easy the throttle lock went. Wish more products were as easy to install.

@mikehagan4320 2 года назад

You just sold me on a center stand. Until I went to there website. They want over $220. Forget that!

@Inthewind24 2 года назад

I got those screen risers too. Wasn’t a fan of the near vertical position. Took them off and installed an adjustable Givi “visor”. Works great and looks a bit better to me. Hoping someone will come up with a better mount solution. I like the 3D concept but my ideal position is about halfway between stock and where they are.

@chrisholmes599 2 года назад

Dear Dork in the Road! Just picked up a Gen 3 KLR ADV model. Since watching your videos I've learned a ton and I appreciate it. However, each time I watch one of your great videos I end up buying something you recommended. Not sure this is sustainable long term:) kidding aside. Love the videos.

Nice collection of farkles. Happy Trails has been making the center stand for ages, they are very popular with KLR650 owners. If they release their highway pegs for the Gen 3, yake a look, they are a game changed for longer rides. - Frank

@treyveston7965 2 года назад

Going to pick up my new KLR 650 in Boise next Saturday. Wanted an ABS model in the tan color, but all I could find in the PNW were in the Seattle area with horrible mark up. Finally found a non ABS model for $7500 out the door. Still too much, but the best deal I could find. Just ordered the 3D Cycle Parts windshield screen riser since I am 6'2".

Dork in the Road: Thanks for the instruction video on the Happy Trails center stand! I just bought one because of it! I have a question for you: What are you running for motor oil? 10-40 or something more exotic like 20-50? These things are running at around 4,000 rpm's most of the time and I live in South Florida. Thanks!

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

I always just run whatever the manufacturer recommends

@soilsmanadv6673 2 года назад

will the throttle lock keep my whiskey throttle under control? I miss center stands on regular motorcycles.

@jg1468 Год назад

What is the point of the center stand? Is it so don't have to worry about it digging into dirt and falling over or is it cause it's easier to change a tire or something out on the trail cause the rear tire is off the ground ? Love the videos keep it up 👍

@pedrovazquez9146 2 года назад

Would love to get your take on the Pivot Pegz MK4…

@hvymax 2 года назад

Are the footpeg bracket threads still made of Zamac? I caught a little air and ripped the footpegs out of the frame on my 15. I ended up welding them to the center stand frame.

@Milkman3572000 2 года назад

Whew Weeee they are proud of the center stand. I need a 20% off super code. I just bought a new milk crate for my KLR.. low on funds.

@PapaDougsAdventures01 2 года назад

I’ve been struggling with weather to buy a center stand for my KTM 890 Adv R or getting a PitBull rear stand. I need it for Maintenance not necessarily on the ride but I guess fixing a tire in the field might benefit by having the center stand

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

Changing a tire on the trail is way easier with a center stand.

@shugyoforyou211 2 года назад

Did removing the stock kickstand disengage the killswitch that cuts the motor when the kickstand is down?

@BGPD70 4 месяца назад

Sir, can you tell me what the throttle lock actually locks on to? Wondering if it works with aftermarket grips (no inner ring), or if it requires the OEM type with inner rubber ring. Thank's

@roadglide1142 Год назад

I have a 2023 KLR s model I wonder if that center stand is compatible? Hmm 🤔

@scottbaer 2 года назад

Hey dude, on the Atlas throttle lock, if you don't have the heated grips on the 2022 KLR 650, should you buy the bottom kit instead of the top kit, or would either kit work?

@MrCheaterpipe 2 года назад

The accessories you need to install are the thermobob low profile drain plug and doohicky i dont like a center stand on my klr because it lowers the already low ground clearance

Very informative! Are you satisfied with the crash protection in terms of crash bars? Have you considered installing additional bars (in addition, or instead of, the existing ones) on your Adventure KLR?

My 2016 1200GSA has an actual cruise and that right there is worth the price tag! 😆 LOL. I am gonna need a throttle long for my KTM500 and so far from what I've seen on the one you installed that's probably the one I'll install.

@onerider808 Год назад

Dear Mr. Dork: while these are cool mods, I notice the interest seems to be in making KLRs into Road Kings or something, my interest is in parts which will make my KLR into a relatively indestructable beast which will go places you didn’t think your KLR would go. KLX300 for the few places that KLR can’t go. So...how about an episode on what you could do to your KLR to make you confident to take it on your next BDR and leave the rest of those bikes at home. Thanks, and I am torn between calling you Mister Dork or Mister DIRT.

@DorkintheRoad Год назад

Tons of crash bars and stuff available now but there weren't when I made this video. Sadly I no longer have a KLR so no more videos on that one.

@edwiltrout6685 2 года назад

If you’re concerned about wind buffering try removing the peek on your helmet. Im 6’2” 240 and that makes a bigger difference than any windshield adjustment unless you’re riding a cruiser. For me anyway.

@richardrom740 2 года назад

Hi Dork, I had a problem with the Atlas Throttle lock. It would not grip the throttle tube. I tried squeezing the lower loop as hard as I could but even at full travel the throttle lock would not grip the tube tight enough. I used a pare of channel locks and I bent the lower loop, so I can't send it back. This is the second time I have had a problem with your endorsed products, so I am not going to link to anymore of your endorsements. I going to keep watching your channel but when I want to order something I will go elsewhere. I just noticed that your link to Happy Trails is still up, I asked that you take it down because the center stand is back ordered and the costumer is not aware of the inventory issue until funds have been issued and then a day after Happy Trails informs the customer of a back order and 6 to 7 weeks delay. Please take the Happy Trails link down.

@DorkintheRoad 2 года назад

Yeah dude I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with a couple things but I'm not going to take down links to products and companies that I know are quality because of one person's bad experience. I've personally had nothing but positive interactions with both companies and I'm impressed with the products I've personally used. Have you asked Happy Trails if they'd cancel your order and refund you? Did you follow the instructions for the Atlas installation? Pretty sure they explicitly state that you're supposed to tighten it down by hand. Have you asked Atlas about a replacement part? I'm genuinely sorry to hear these products aren't working out for you, but you're the first person to complain and I've made many referral sales for both companies. I can only recommend things based on my own experience and my experience has been nothing but positive. I understand if you no longer wish to trust my recommendations. That's your call.
