The Ultimate DR650 Adventure Bike Build

#motorcycle #rtw #dr650 #bushpig

Ape_Venture members Jordan and Ben discuss how entirely out of depth they are with equipping motorcycles for a bike trip from Australia to the United Kingdom...

Be it DR, AT, GS, T7 or CRF, we hope to provide you with some insight into items you should consider for longer trips. We discuss what we have fitted, how we have found it, and general opinions on building a bike to your specification.

Some of the brands we have come to love, be it from product or after-purchase support:

Motoz Tyres
Adventure bike Australia

@stedi_lighting
@ACERBIS1973

Excellent choice. The DR650 is a legend.

Just bought my first DR650! Excited to start the journey into ADV life! What an adventure. If you make it over to the US! keep us in the loop!

Lads, what a monumental adventure you have going! We wish you nothing but the best and safe travels. Cheers - Sam

Awesome boys ! Well kitted out pigs.
Up the DR 🐗

A well sorted DR650 is unbeatable light adventure in my opinion. No frills and easily repairable. Mine is setup almost identical with exception of the yenkro fairing and a TM40. I would suggest a few more dollars spent on the pegs with the pivot pegz. Love them. Safe Adventures!

Amazing video! Really comprehensive. I recently bought a 1996 DR650 here in the UK (very rare) and have done quite a few of the upgrades already. I plan to ride the DR650 from London to Bangkok when i turn 50 in 7 years time. Thanks for a great video guys and subscribed!!

🇦🇺😎👍The DR seat is like sitting on a besser block

[ComfyDadShoes]

JNS light is a game changer! Im considering accessory lights as well. Nice vid. 👍

Love seeing these mods videos. Great trip guys. Thanks for the video and good luck on the rest of the adventure if that's ongoing.

Thanks for all the info. A couple of questions, what is the top box? Also, I’m planning a similar trip and have the 20L tank that came with my DR, from your experience will that be enough? Don’t really wanna fork out for an extra 5L.. I’ve already mapped out my Australia leg and should be sweet there..

Wow, a lot of money for accessories. I am a new owner of a DR650. I will start with a seat, a riser, and a tank. I was hesitating between the seat concept and the seat sargent. After having traveled so many kilometers, would you still take the sargent seat? Thanks for all the research to find the right accessories and thanks for your video. Alain from Canada

Wondering what bike spares you are carrying with you. How do you plan to get any parts on the road you don't have?

[waynerasmus]

Great videos guys. Looking forward to episode 6.
Be interested to know approx how many kms you had when your clutches gave out. Prepping a bike atm for a similar ride next year and wondering if to do the hd clutch.
Cheers and stay safe.
