Great looking machine Scotty. Save some coin to get the front forks sorted, Marzocchi shivers need setting up from the get go

Two options Ollie sadly for you both involve spending money and Aldi stock neither :unsure:
Upgrade your stator yes, best I know of is here you may find cheaper but make sure it’s a Ricky. There is also a guy in SA that rewinds yours name fails me at the minute I will post it later when I think of it.
Second- upgrade your lights as mentioned before to a HID setup, benefit here is you will have better lights and can still run your heated grips
There is a third and that’s get warmer gloves :huh:
Hope that helps
BTW the heated grip option has been removed from this built because they are not worth the drama on a bike like an XR in my experience :blink:

Thanks TB I will get the ricky stator and HID setup eventually. I just purchased option 3 as well :laugh:
The problem with the XR650 is that it doesnt run a Battery and the stator is only good for about 80 watts. Trying to find a suitable power supply for the heated grips is damn difficult.as the majority of available power is AC (the instructions actually say to hook into the lighting circuit) I can run the lights but not enough power goes to the Heated grips. turn the lights off and they work a treat. But being a commuter at the moment I really like having the headlights on all the time. This is why im thinking the best way to go is get the stator rewound or a modded one put in.Then do the HID mod. Anyone want to chime in im all ears.

Ring them tell them your a bull, bit dearer get what you pay for and have them for lifeTB
true enough there TB, but it is a big price difference, for a cheapy to throw in the ute when your out I reckon it would do the trick.
I actually made my own from T6 alloy
Whipps do make great stuff tho
