I bought an MRA screen from Germany, not cheap with the brackets but it works ok and it's adjustable as you ride. The issue is the way it mounts, makes my handle bars a tad busy, as you can see.

I did a full fatbar conversion with rox type risers, makes the riding position nice and upright, plus removes the crossbar which was another busy factor. Other mods include Warp 9 style 3 finger levers, heated grips, brush guards, montana and powered cradle, Eagerbeaver mini 3CS, pannier racks, Cogent Mojave rear shock, Intiminator cartridges for the front shocks, LED driving lights, and the all important Procycle Gel Seat conversion. For the Engine, a Kent 550 Cam, TM40 Carb conversion and the header pipe re-grind mod so it really kicks out its true potential, really responsive with excellent engine braking and better on fuel than standard. That is it for now, it's going back to France for the rest of the year 👍🇳🇱

Looking excellent sarge ,I installed some valves from Australia in my fronts and it’s helped stiffen them up I might get some heavftier springs to go with them.I have a full led headlight on the way over the pond as per the advrider dr650 thread. Just need to make a couple of brackets all being well.

While are all posting stuff about DR here is the last three bits of bike I've been taking back to bare metal and building back up...

Also spent an hour today tidying up the electrics and another hour cleaning with WD-40 and a tooth brush.

That looks interesting, I'd been put off just getting a plug in H4 replacement led as they say it doesn't work great with the standard lens, no proper cut-off etc., Be interested to hear what you think of it when you've a chance to try it out, may get one for my DRZ, same unit as the 650 by look of it. What did they charge postage from US ?
