Mitchell" Subject: (dr) Tires etc... I just bought a '98 DR 350. The tires need replacing so I ordered Pirelli MT 70s for the front and rear. I do almost all of my riding on the street but I plan to join some local dual sport group rides as they come up. I put Michelin Sirac tires on my sons XT 225. I was riding that before I bought the DR. The Michelin are great on the road, but I would guess they are suicide in the mud. I really hate mud and will go to great lengths to avoid it, so this hasn't been a problem. I know most off roaders say the MT 21 tires are the best for on/off road with a definite bias toward off road, but what about those of use that spend nearly all our time on the road with occasional jaunts into the National Forests or local woods.

I have the Avon Gripster H on my BMW R100GSPD, and like them better than any others I've tried. You will sacrifice a LOT off road, but for forest service roads they will work if you drop the pressure.

I want to keep it street >legal but hate to have to hacksaw off the long extension. > > Thanks, > Bill Clough Bill, While at the Powersports Industry Show in Indianapolis this past February, I discovered two neat new dual sport lighting units from UFO. They are a headlight assemblY and a taillight/"fenderette" assembly featuring integral turn signals. Although I doubt that these units are D.O.T. approved, you may find them suitable to your needs. The headlight assembly really cleans up the front end of a bike. And, the small, integral turn signals should be extremely durable, safely tucked out of harms way. When used in conjuntion with a small, round speedometer assembly (Baja Designs) to replace my stock DR350SE headlight and instrument assemblies, shaved nine pounds off of the front of the bike. There are a few glitches with the headlight assembly though: it is not a halogen unit, though bright (replacement bulbs are cheap!); the mounting straps are for inverted forks, so you will either have to modify them with zip-ties, or use O.E.M. mounting straps for an off-road DR 350 or an RMX 250; the unit also sits a little low, so you will probably want to fabricate some upper mounting brackets (possibly from the original front turn signal brackets) in order to raise the assembly a couple of inches. Although I have not yet received one of the taillight assemblies, it should be just what the doctor ordered in most cases. It looks similar to the O.E.M. unit found on KTM RXCs, fitting under the rear fender, and with a small, black "fenderette" just the right size for mounting a license plate. Although the taillight assembly will not work very well with stock DR 350 rear fenders, it should work wonderfully with the new MX style rear fender from Maier plastics, or, especially, the new DR-Z rear fender. I have 6 of them on back order from the importer. If they don't get them soon, I plan to have my friend Billy Liles pick some up while he's in Italy visiting his partners at Tecnosel Seats & Stickers. Give me a call Tuesday if you would like to purchase one. Happy trails, Al C.
