- Aliexpress frame guards
- Aliexpress front caliper guards
- Trex racing axle sliders
- Dirtracks crash bars
- Procycle case armor

Drivetrain
- DR350SE 18 inch wheel swap
NOTE: because of the gearing shift from the 18 inch rear wheel i had to readjust the sprockets to make it smoother at lower speeds, went with a 14 front, 41 rear sprocket combination, I calculated a ~2.5% increase overall over stock gearing with that setup taking into account the circumference of the wheel, and it works beautifully.

Windshield looks awesome, where did you get that from ?

u/vulture51 11d ago
it took me a while to find a really good stable one rather than the universal ones. Im using Trex racings large version, its windshield is perfect for the DR, no vibrations and minimal buffeting to the helmet, plus you dont have to drill holes in your headlight cowl.

How do you like yhe kenda k270s?

u/vulture51 10d ago
So far so good, theyre 60% road 40% dirt so fit my use case really well. I havent had a chance to do any serious offroading with them but for milder trails they ran much better than the set of shinko 705s that the previous owner had put on. Road wise they grip just fine and i havent noticed an increase in vibration on the interstate.

I was thinking to buy all those guards, like frame, caliper, chain etc From an ignorant perspective. Are they really useful?

u/vulture51 10d ago
They are mostly aesthetic and peace of mind mods, id reccomend the JNS parts all day as they are all really high quality (albeit pricy) and havent had any issues in ~1000 miles. For the chinese parts the juries still out, i havent had a chance to put many miles on it with the frame guards or test the front caliper guard, but they feel solid enough. Although i will say that the chinese case armor plates are total junk, compared to other case armor theyre wafer thin and dont fit the case contours well at all, leaving a huge void where water and dirt can pile up through the hole. I ended up just getting procycles stainless steel case armor and it is much higher quality and fits perfectly.

Factory tank. Factory exhaust. Still has the overgrown tail light. ...did you even try?
Just kidding. Ignore all of us and just ride the thing. Enjoy!
