Hi Friends,
In fact I was quite happy to see that Bill and others support the idea of buying DRZ parts in the US (TT).
However,I would like to add that evoluting in this part of the world we have to be a bit more creative and (how to say, I miss words in English) but in French we say Système D, la Demmerde... Seals, bearings, springs, chains, fork parts must NOT be a problem, we can allways adapt something. I would only encourage for these kinds of bikes to use what is available locally, not to go for costfull imports and adapt the bikes to the country conditions.
I don't want to hurt any purists who like the bike genuine from the shop, but off-roads... Only a point of view !
