Title: DRZSM mods...
Post by: Stephen072774 on September 01, 2006, 12:34:14 PM
I've been modding the crap outta this thing since I've had it.  Wanted to share some of them with you guys... I got a spare set of knobby wheels, and can swap them out in about 20 minutes.  I can go from the twistys to off-roading in the same weekend.  its too much fun.  Take note of the best mod in the last pic...

Tailight before and after...

It's just a sticker on the gas resevoir on his shock to fool silly people.

It obviously is, it has all the signals and lights and mirrors that any street bike would need. It is also has a license plate on it too which would be pointless to have if it wasn't street legal.

I almost traded in my GS for a brand new DRZ400SM. But then I realized the dealership probably would have screwed me on trade in value and I still would have owed $2000 on it at least.

Love the bike, man. How's it compare to the GS?

well, its pretty different to say the least...  feels like its way more than 100 lbs lighter, with it is...  I'd like to be able to drag my old gs with the drz, I think the drz would take it 0-50, but after 5 gear (which is all the drz has) it would be all GS.  Same with the twisties... under 50, drz by a long shot.  But the gs felt more stable in the high speed sweepers 65+.  I changed from a 41 tooth sprocket to a 44 and it will throttle wheelie like crazy. :thumb:
