I purchased a new motorcycle in January of 2006 that I thought would
be a good bike for the trip; a leftover 2005 Suzuki DL650 (wheeStrom).
Lots of factors went into that decision but that isn't the focus of
this. There have been lots of modifications to the bike to make it
roadworthy for Alaska.
The DL650 has had the following modifications to make it better for
riding in AK;
Rox risers
Grip heaters
Grip puppies
MRA Vario windscreen
MadStad windshield bracket
Stebel horn
BlueSeas fuse block
2 powerlet outlets
Audiovox cruise control
Datel voltmeter
Happy Trails panniers and rack
Givi E42 (?) topcase
Garmin 2610 GPS and hardwire for it
Fenda extenda
Hyperlites brake light flasher
Diamondstar Headlight modulator
