The hot setup on the BMW f650 Dakar's is to swap the forks out for a set of wr/yz 250 tubes and 450 triples. I've been scouring over the 300 posts on this mod at ADV and it looks to be very doable for really little expense. Thanks to HarryRichard I'm about to possess the tubes and flea bay is awash in triples,wheels and brake assemblies for relatively nothing. This mod will take 15 pounds off the frontend which will be a very good thing. Looking forward to sharing this with everyone...
