I removed the stock plastic bracket stay and used the keepers that came with the SS lines it just looks cleaner. A fork brace is a big help in stiffening the forks up i recommend it .
Great video. I have the old 84 KL600 and the brakes are appalling even after stainless line and full overhaul of the caliper and master cylinder. I would like to know if this set up would fit my bike.
putting this on my "some day" shopping list. towards the top, but still "someday".
Could you post a video on the steel brake line install?
similar to changing any brake line and bleeding the line.
Will the 2nd gen front brake caliper retro-fit to a Gen 1 machine? what about a 2nd shock to a 1st Gen frame???
Yeah but the fork boots look collapsed with the fork brace on I used zip on seal savers.
The Eagle Mike Fork brace looks better made.
I'm looking at either buying a new remaining 2018 KLR650 or a slightly older KLR that's been fairly sorted out/modded. Definitely can see the big need for the fork brace and brake upgrades. I'm also wondering if keeping the OEM brakes but swapping out to stainless steel brake lines front & rear would be a reasonable first intermediate step.
