Finally got the DRZ back up and running after a sitting around for a couple years. A quick disassembly of the carb, thorough jet cleaning, new spark plug and new Shorai Battery and she’s purring again.
I started watching Long Way Down again and getting inspired for some longer bike rides. Of course, fellow DRZ owners who like to really travel all know of the non-existent storage available for this bike. I decided to try out some new options, mainly a new billet rack along with a pelican case (1400). While not huge, this should get me able to carry some basic necessities on the bike instead of in my backpack. May not seem like a big change, but getting 15-20lbs off your back makes a massive difference on the longer rides 🙂

- Currently bolted through the rack and subframe w/ extended bolts. Probably could use some flat stock on the inside between the bolts for extra rigidity…

- Pretty good size, ehh?
