Does anyone have suggestions for turn signals for my DRZ that can survive being dropped on rocks a few times? Procycle looks like they have some good options

Depends on your state and its inspections. Do you want one that's a good turn signal or one that won't break? For example, I think your best bet is something like these that will never actually have to hit rocks. https://tstindustries.com/tst-led-front-flushmount-turn-signals-suzuki-drz400s-drz400sm.html and these https://www.ebay.com/itm/191147595085 and then just order a couple pairs because you'll still break them.

So I’ve been doing less adventure bike stuff and more dirt bike stuff. Mainly because my son is old enough to ride now but not old enough to be licensed. So I picked up a 1998 Ktm 300 exc and then a 2012 Ktm 450 xcw and have been riding my parents property. We’re about bored there and really don’t have anywhere else to go. We’re in north east Ohio but I don’t mind driving a few hours to a spot or a park. There’s a local motorcross track but I think we’re more looking for riding rather than racing. Any suggestions?


Ask around on advrider or whatever your local facebook group is. I'd be surprised if there wasn't something in PA near the alleghany natl forest.

Any opinions on good skid plates?

My kid busted the flywheel cover on his KLX300R last weekend falling on a rock.
(He's got a skid plate but I had not yet installed it after dune season)

My KX250 has no protection at all. There's the OEM KX250X "plate" that's really just a plastic grid covering only the bottom of the engine.
On the other end of the spectrum are the almost fully enclosing plates, either metal or plastic. Those are expensive and I guess they impede engine cooling which would be a bad thing on this bike that already runs hot.

I don't really ride over rocks that are tall enough to touch the engine. The use case is probably falling over and smashing something on the side, like water pump, flywheel or clutch cover.

I need to get one for a KLX140 as well and I think I'm going all out with that one as it sits so close to the ground.

Opinions?

Do you care about weight? The plastic ones are very good now so
I’d look at one of those that has the kind of flarey wings that cover the sides a bit too (compare this one no wings https://enduroeng.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=151462 with this one with the wings I’m talking about https://enduroeng.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=151467) For falling over and smashing the side isn’t that a clutch cover protector?

Anyway, I like the EE ones but I don’t know if they make them for your bike.

Maybe something like this one. https://flatlandracing.com/products/24-98-skid-plate-for-2009-2023-kawasaki-klx-140-140l-140g
