DRZ400S - customised for tall rider

[talljohn]

So if you are on the tall or large size of the spectrum and want either a green laner or a long distance off road bike, then this is the one for you.

Bike is a 2006 SK5 model in very good condition. I have owned it for six years and it has only had three previous owners. The bike is currently on SORN and MOT has lapsed, but I will sort that out before a sale.

The bike has had significant mod's to include:

Long range tank
Heavy duty rear spring and front shock springs
Custom made stainless steel pannier rack for soft panniers
Front faring
Braided rear brake hose
Lowered pegs
High rise bar and risers
High rise kit on the suspension
Oxford heated grips
Rear LED light conversion
HID head light (very bright)
Folding rear view mirrors
Wired for satnav (has Garmin Zumo and Touratech locking mount, which I am selling separately), though I have another satnav and mount which I am including.

I have used the bike on lots of European trips, the last being the Pyrenees down to the Med, mainly off road. Coped with some extreme routes and long distance with ease. Selling now as the biking bug has left me!

£2500. Bike is in Buckingham.

Hi John,

Cheers, Bob.

Firstly is bike still for? Secondly how tall would you have to be?

[Mike54]

By how much are the pegs lowered, and how high are the bars? They seem to be very forward in terms of rotation?

Hi Bob, Very long time no hear. Remember stopping and trying to help out Valerie Singleton after she had broken down off Salisbury Plain somewhere? I think that was with you.

To answer next two questions, on pegs and bars. I am 6'8" and the bike just fits me. Bike is still for sale. It's a bit of an impossible task making a bike fit someone of my size, but it's a lot closer than standard spec's.

The foot pegs themselves, and not the brackets have been altered and put them about 2cm lower than standard. New pegs would put them back to standard. 10 minute job.

The bars up front are hi bars and there is also a lift kit which raises the bars 2.5cm and puts them forward by 2.5cm. Again, easily removed to standard spec if you are vertically challenged...

Hah ha, Valerie Singleton, I'd forgot all about that

Nice bike that, and ready for an adventure......GLWS

[talljohn]

Oh yes, mileage, forgot to add that. It's 14200. Also just MOT'd yesterday.
