Sweeeeeet - Just picked up a Multistrooodle

[BellissiMoto]

A guy on the Multi board makes some off-road parts for the MTS. I have the skid plate (keeps water off the cylinder/sump so the bike will come up to temp in rain). It isn't all for sale yet, but he's working on it.

This of course won't make it so you can run Dakar...but it will make it better for general dirt roads. They actually don't do too bad on fire roads and such...I've taken mine off-road a few times and had fun.

Since it's a 620, the 1st thing you should do is get better suspension. Either pick up some old MTS 1000 forks, or Evolution Suspension in San Jose that will put GSXR internal in the stock forks. The stock forks/shock suuuuck.

Ok, I like that...

I rode a 620 dark Multi for a month and it was one of the most comfortable and extremely utilitarian motorcycles ever made.  If you want more off road capability you should contact the folks at terra mostro and see if they will sell you one of their engine guards that forms a double cradle from the front engine mount to the foot peg bracket.

And forks and triples.

You could also streetfighter it. Mines in the process...here's a pic of it from last week:


More to come when it's complete. 

When complete my ass!

Let's see it as you build that puppy!

Shit, you beat me to it.

That is Troy from Hoosier Hooligan's multi

I don't know. With that header pipe where it is I wouldn't think it would be a good dirt bike.

that is exactly what has kept me from buying a multi....but I really do want one.

something I feel safe driving down dirt roads and such. I worry everytime I take my monster to work that I'm going to eat it with my pilots on the wheels of it. I'd like a multi with some on/off road treads for exploring around here

I like the lawnmower attachment.

One concern I've always had about taking any Duc off-road is the forces that are placed on the swingarm, which are subsequently translated to the engine case. All it would take is one instance of well-placed, ill-timed and unavoidable lateral impact load at the swingarm pivot beyond what the cases were designed to absorb, and it's all over. 

The Multistroodle frame, like the superbike frames, drops down to reinforce the swingarm pivot. (unlike the Monster/888/st)
