This is the first KLR I bought like 9-10 years ago. (Sold it...but found another one last summer). The first one came from Valcartier. It was used by the MP and had a number of markings on it. On the front of the mudguard, was a nato vehicle i.d.
(Not sure what you call it in english...) The bike I bought last summer had its paint redone (in a professional paint-shop) and also had its engine rebuilt. After a good tune-up, it actually runs like new. From what I can find, there appears to be no "standard markings" for those little bikes. I chose to use the same pattern for my 1RCR bike as for the MP's bike. BTW...I tried to contact the 1RCR museum for some help, but no answer. I also renewed the straps that keep the panniers closed. My idea was to simply replace them with new olive color straps, but I noticed that the straps were originally black and had simply faded under the sun. I restored the color using some fabric dye. Same for the tool bag that goes on the mudguard. I still need to find a tool-kit... Eric

Hello all,
I need a little help here: I realised that the front of the B.O. drive on my KLR was some kind of ''home-made'' painted resin cover. So in order to fix it (by making a new cover) i need someone to show me a close picture of his own KLR b.o. drive. I know this the best place to get that picture! Thank you, Eric

I have no idea if I'll be in Waterloo...But I'm a machinist and for now if I can simply see closely what exactly the cover looks like, I can easily make a replica.
This is what the previous owner made. Let's call it a "nice try" but I'm not going anywhere with that! Thanks for your kind offer anyway. Maybe we'll meet in Waterloo. Where are you from? Ho I just saw: Kingston. Not that far!
