That’s An Unusual KLR Headlight Mod

Sometimes in life you find yourself doing what you gotta do, just to get by.

Hokey Maglight headlamp KLR

Looks like this KLR owner I spotted the other day was doing just that.

I’m not exactly sure a Maglight would be my first choice as a headlight replacement, but okaaaay. I’m sure it uh,… works GREAT! And is perfectly legal to pass safety inspection. 🙂

If you’ve ever poked around on ThereIFixedIt.com this type of stuff may be all too familiar.

How About You?

Have you ever jury-rigged something hokey up on your bike? Maybe a milk crate instead of a top box? Bleach jug hand guards?  Don’t be shy!

    That’s right on the money for most KLR owners. what ever gets them through the day. After having a few klr tech days over in my garage you see a lot of cheap engineering and some of it is scary..

    The milk crate instead of a top box is a common one here in Australia – especially for “postie” bikes.

    The bleach jug hand guards are an awesome idea! I think I’m the only V-Strom owner on the planet without hand-guards….a friend of mine thought they were standart equipment as everyone has them…(except me!)

    I had the camelbak tank bag idea going for a while.

      Go for the jug handguards! 😆

      I have a friend who turned his old tank bag into a perfectly fitting tailbag for hit sport bike.

      I know someone else who used a piece of punched metal that like you would put over a duct vent in front of his radiator on a Wee to keep stones from pinging away at it. I’m not sure what the right term is – the sheet of metal had something like an suit of clubs pattern all over it. It worked. And air flowed through freely.

    One time I put a snake light on my old CR80 to ride it at night. Another time I actually put a high intensity led head lamp on it too. I’m happy I don’t have to do that anymore 😆
