lmao i agree with ya. those things are fuckin lead weights. I stick with my 490. its street legal too and easy to pick up and turn around in a tight trail.
After this video I changed the bars to FATBARS, and used ROX risers. Now if I stand I dont feel like I am going to fly over the bars. The risers are 2". also took out the rear fender sub-frame and changed the tail light to a smaller one like the 650R. PS... my friend posted this, he gets a kick out of seeing me fight with the mass. He has a DR350 much lighter, much slower!
looks good and handles better dropped down around an inch I'm sure - it really is a tall bike, honda should have revised the stance to be 1" lower out the door imo - they could definitely have done so without impacting clearance and suspension that much, probably wouldn't take more than a few positioning tweaks in final assembly
Yep.... I have a Devol lowering link. Works good. I think I am going to have the seat foam replaced with thinner and harder foam to save another half inch.
just curious, there a lowering link on her? - I'm with ya on the turning around, have the same bike - had to hop off mine the other day and walk it out of some swampy stuff using the throttle cause I reached a point I couldn't pass and there were tight trees on every side
What pipe is on it in the video? Sounds really good.

@jimmerdirt DR350 is slow? Bullshit it is. Your friend has no idea how to ride then. I have one and I can smoke anyone.
