OK I have been a little slack with keeping this blog up to date lately so a quick update;
I have since my last post fitted the stainless steel braided brake lines. There is a hugh difference and I am very happy with the change.
I have installed the SW-Motech quicklock carriers and Traxx panniers. These look really cool, but I just need to get use to them as the bike feels really wide, however the panniers are no wider then the handle bars.
I have ordered the JNS Skid Plate to replace the small one I currently have as I feel a little too exposed with it. With any luck this will arrive this week.
I have ordered the parts to do the ‘doohickey’. I have read a lot of write ups on how to do it and watched a number of youtube videos so I fell pretty confident. However I will find a suitable mechanic to ensure I am doing the right thing when the time comes – thanks Terry 
I did my first ‘big’ ride, 700km round trip, to Khancoban and back for the 2010 KLRRR with the bike fully loaded up and apart from the constant rain the suspension was woeful. The bike looked like a chopper and the front end was very light and twitchy as the rear shock did not allow for the weight I had over back. To over come this I have ordered the IAS rear shock and front Intiminator’s from Ricor. These I hope will arrive soon.
I will post more soon.
Thanks to SamMule for the photo. This is me at the front of the photo and it was taken down near Brindabella Station.
Hi great blog have you fitted the IAS rear shock? I am thinking of getting one also for my 2010 Klr, would love to get your thoughts.

I have only just received my shock back from Ricor as it had a fault with it, I am yet to do any real off-road or testing with it.
I will let you know once I do though.
Hi, curious how you went with the Ricor Intiminators? Am strongly considering a set, just not sure if it’s worth the outlay for the real world gain.
have you fitted your yet?
