As some of you know I bought Trey from adidasguy for my wife ( she loves it ).I have been riding it around some and REALLY enjoy riding it.I'm THINKING about selling my 07 DL1000 and buying a 500 for me.I ride everyday rain or shine and my commute is 40 miles.We are planning a 6,000 mile trip up to Prudue Bay Alaska next June and I would be riding it.I was wondering if anybody has setup one for a big guy,I'm 6'1" and about 275#.I've heard that a SV650 shock will fit and is longer,and I could lower the pegs a inch or so and get a taller wider seat built.Any ideas ??.
