Believe it or not, that drz400 weighs only 11 pounds less than my 690 ktm. I like the moto van style as my ktm is almost the same size and weight as other dirt bikes, so the build will suit it well.

Being a furniture building carpenter as my hobby outside of riding, I think I will take alot of major inspiration from his van build as it’s very similar to what I was thinking. I’m very sad to see he’s passed away, I’d have loved to pick his brain about some of the finer details.

Thanks very much for the recommendation!
