We wanted to share something cool we just got in the shop that we're pretty excited about: Motion foot pegs made right here in Oregon!

The main difference between these pegs and the Pivot Pegz you might be familiar with is the rubber bushing system. These bushings control how much the pegs flex under your feet and also help dampen those annoying vibrations. They come standard with medium hardness bushings, but you can swap them out for softer or firmer ones depending on how you like your ride to feel.

With apologies to Cycle World. We took their comparison chart which makes the KLR look pretty good against the ADV bikes and added the DR650 to it.

Product Review – Trail Tech Vapor and Dashboard Units

There are good products and then there are great products. The Trail Tech Vapor Speedometer/Tachometer unit is a great product. I have had one on my personal DR650 since just about the day I brought it home. The things that this unit will do really are very surprising - programmable warning lights, shift indicators and data averages of certain events.

My riding buddy Adam and I took an extra day off over the already extended Labor Day weekend to go out and abuse our bikes (both DR650’s) and bodies on a four-day, 1,400 mile torture test. Let me just say that I love my job! It is my responsibility, my DUTY to go and ride my motorcycle so that I can test and evaluate the plethora of products available to ensure that we carry and sell only the best of what is available. Honestly, we don’t just put things on the website because somebody suggests it, or a salesman told me he had the deal of the century. Nope.
