Hawaii's Mud Lane.....

New graphics on my Gen 1

Just thought I'd share.... Guy is on E-BAY and the graphics aren't too bad...a bit thin but not too shabby. I forgot to order the kit with the seat cover, so I just ordered another shroud kit w/cover for like $50 or something on E-BAY "Buy it Now". Very worth the price. "Skiddy" ...

I "won" a wheel on E-bay and it cost $35 to get it here via parcel post (took 4 weeks). Wrong wheel, so now I have 3 rear wheels for my DRZ400. Hmmmm.

Check UPS or Fed Ex Ground please....

Hmmm. So is it safe to assume a 18" 500 wheel is about the same money? I'll look into it. The Excels are actually for my DRZ450.....
