Wished a decent seat for one wasn't $400. The Madass needs a better seat too. Surgeon threatening work on bottom side if not careful.

The seat on my 08 isn't bad and if you add a Wallyworld whoopee cushion, it's fantastic. I get numbutt from every bike I have after a while anyway. Best mod I made was ditching the stock (no dampening) shock and replacing it with a Bielstein.

Lets localize it a bit.... Built in Taiwan ROC You'll find a lot of bikes built there besides Kawasaki's. Yamaha, Honda and Triumph have plants there. Labor is cheap, profit is maximized.
100 used stoves on Craigslist guarantees 100 new pleas for help next fall!
And 100 smart ass comments as well.
Stick around next fall, try to contribute to those 100, and THEN eat your foul words. Until then,...................
I thought TJ's comment was funny and truthful. Kinda hit the nail on the head.
And yes, the KLR's are screwed together in Taiwan. That's why you have to go over the bikes with Loc-Tite. The KLR's are good at everything and great at nothing. Another plus is you can haul bags of pellets on them. I know I could get 4 bags on mine easily. A bag in each saddle box and two on the rear rack. Maybe I'll do that and post a picture.
Hey, if members here are hauling pellets in Porsche Boxters then I'd say a bike is fair game too. LOL! I just can't see 12 plus trips for a ton. I go for the one and done whether I pay for delivery of 7 tons or hook up the big equipment trailer and play go fetch.
if Lowe's or TSC doesn't get Somersets this year I'll be going for a drive and buy direct. What stinks is Somerset won't sell them any cheaper than the big boxes even if you roll into their facility. Or so I was told by them last fall. Not sure if those rules change in spring or early summer.

Well, they aren't (I made a mistake, like I never do.......) They are assembled in Thiland with parts mainly produced in Japan. I have no idea where Thiland is actually..... 5 rice paddies to the south of somewhere I suspect.
KLR's do,do one thing well, they start reliably. Don't like the color scheme on the new ones. Too much black.... and too pricey, $6500 USD is too much for a lawnmower.
I have to agree on the 'do nothing well' for the most part comment.

People getting antsy herte (or needing the money) as our local CL is listing just under 75 stoves, all in various stages of disrepair, all for inflated prices.....sheesh.
Man, you have a huge market in and around D.C.! AND any state that voted for the One Who Shall Not Be Named.
Speaking of butt-numb, in the mid-sixties I had a Ducati Diana 300cc single cylinder vibrating MOTHER with a narrow seat. I decided to take it on a 700 mile journey of adventure before going in the Service. My butt was so sore that I stood up for half the trip even with anything I could find stuffed under the seat covering! The little beast would scream at 10K rpm but you paid for it with blisters!
Yea, I know
!! Off topic but what do you expect? Nothing else constructive to talk about since everyone's burning oil or NG!

At a buck 29, it's hard to believe it wouldn't be cheaper. According to my comparison chart, even with an old 78% efficient furnace, you would break even with $250 a ton pellets.

60's Itallian bikes were noted for Naughyde covered wood plank seats and unrelaible engines, but, Ducks were still cool. I alwas thought that Ducati and the makers of preperation H were in cahoots....
Candidly, I haven't turned my stove off yet. It's idling along waiting for the next cold snap or tun out of fuel, whatever comes first.
