This month, we’re riding along with Daniel Byers from Ohio who owns a heavily-modified 2011 Suzuki DR650 with a striking yellow and white color scheme that he has named “Thousand Sunny” or just “Sunny” for short.
Daniel has replaced “everything imaginable, except the motor, carb, and airbox” with the “entire ProCycle catalog!” Some of the more notable bits include a Yenkro Rally fairing, a translucent Safari tank, a wheel set from Woody’s Wheel Works, and Acerbis frame guards.
His other upgrades include a Cogent suspension, a 320mm front rotor from Warp 9, an NX650 low fender, a GSX-R midpipe, JNS footpeg mounts, Fastway pegs, and side racks from Moose Racing.
Daniel has ridden Sunny up and down all over the Americas. Literally! They recently went to the Top of the World up the infamous Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. Daniel has also taken Sunny to Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego at the bottom on South America.
At the time of his submission, Daniel was exploring Alaska and waiting for wildfires to die down around Fairbanks before continuing with the Denali Highway. From there he will ride down to Toronto and then fly with sunny to Portugal to spend a long while exploring Europe!
Thank you, Daniel for sharing your build and adventures with us!
