Cockpit and Controls


  • 1 RAM camera mount
  • 2 Garmin GPSmap 76CSx
  • 2 GPS RAM mount
  • 3 Warm'n'Safe wireless controller
  • 4 Casio Watch Face, water resistant and velcro'd to speedo cluster
  • 5 Zip Ties, 24" and 4"
  • 6 Killswitch, inboard of brake mount, to make room for throttle tube to make room for bar end weights
  • 7 Progrip 714 grips
  • 7 G2 Ergonomics Throttle Tamer, YZF250-450 (1998 & newer) model to reduce the snatchy fuel injection
  • 7 Symtec Heated Grips with Hi/Lo round rocker switch. Dual wiring so low mode does not need to dump heat through a resistor.
  • 8 Crampbuster Classic
  • 9 Manic Salamander weights, to reduce vibrations but seem much less effective on WR250R buzz than KLR650 thump
  • 10 Duct Tape and Electrical Tape, wound on handlebar
  • 11 Baling Wire, wound on handlebar
  • 12 Tusk Handlebar Mitts, inner stitching removed to allow easier hand insertion, a complication caused by bar end weights
  • 12 Acerbis Rally Pro handguards
  • 13 Aluminum Handlebar with less sweep, reduced sweep eases wrist strain by allowing both rocking and twisting motions of the wrist to operate the throttle, width accomodates bar end weights. Should be about 0.5"-1" taller but acceptable.
  • 14 MotoMind, reflected in mirror of unknown provenance
