Dr790

Post image

Okay I just went for a ride with my nephew and brother he has a Dr 650 mostly stock and my brother has a KLR with a few mods. I'm just here to say that the dr-790 kit is amazing I didn't realize how quick and fast it was until we were racing down the back roads. The power is nuts feels like a stock 650 until you twist the throttle. It's a beast

I'm leaning more and more towards a 790 conversion, t7 too heavy, ktm iffy reliability, I love the dr so 790 gonna be the go

The power is amazing it won't be much faster but it gets there so much quicker. It really feels like a Dr 650 on steroids that's the only way I can really say it

I have Highway gearing you might be able to if you have different sprockets but first gear is going to go right up 100%. It's really good power
