    I read in Advrider that the bike is headed to the Pharaons rally & confirmed it with the link you provided. I checked the entry list & the only Husky I saw entered was a 610 :excuseme:

    Oh my lord I need that fairing, dear god how I need it…
    I will pay good money for some sort of fairing like that for the 08 610 right now
    And the gas tank could be nice too…

    Mike there is no way that you are going to drop this bomb and just leave it at that…:D
    Please can you supply a little bit more info?
    Pictures will be great too…
    It’s the second day that I’ve chosen the mercury instead of the husky because of the wind
    I’m tired of it making me its bitch :busted:
    I’ve found this; http://www.offroad-schmiede.de/index.html on one of Ruffus’s threads on TT, it’s fugly in my opinion but it’s an option
    :cheers:
    BTW why the nightmares? :excuseme:

    that was the happy go lucky days before the nightmares.

    I will post a pic of the fairing of your dreams, you can tuck behind it and stay dry on the rain soaked freeways, or you can single track the bike thru the woods, its baja tested, over and over, SUPER beefy, maybe too beefy. Just give me a few days. I just got a new camera. Kelley or someone needs to make these. Huge demand. HUGE. Its a product every dual sporter, winter rider or freeway commuter wants, yet oddly, nobody offers.
    Add heated grips and ride year round.

    I'm not interested by the fairing but that tank should be perfect for Morocco.

    Mike I’ve looked thru your web site and I got to say: :notworthy:very, very cool !
    It’s a shame that things went awry for your team however the path that you have chosen to take instead of trying to argue your rightness speaks volume of your character, I hope you are whole with that decision
    It’s humbling to speak to a true Dakar head; I wonder are you going to give it another attempt (if they’ll fix the terrorist problem…)?
    I’ll love to see pics of your fairing (I always had the hots for the Dakar replicas so the real thing should be awesome) even thou it seems that I’ll go the Hoder’s way…;)

    The first thing that popped into my mind seeing that 530 was that it must be a bitch to pick up if it goes down and you're tuckered out. Interesting tank, I see 2 caps on it? Is the tank divided so all fuel is not lost if a leak occurs on 1 side?

    Wonder how much torque/Hp increase there is with the 530 kit?

    What type of rear tire is that?

    Never mind Dave, I’ve got to the end…
    I guess you are one of the lucky two? :busted:
    I’ll wait for the ride/test report
