10 Affordable Farkles for Under $40
Upgrade your ride without downgrading your dough.
5. Tusk Universal Big Bar Clamp Kit ($29.99)
Features:
• Fits inside standard 7/8″ handlebar clamps.
• Allows the use of 1-1/8″ tapered handlebars.
• Raises handlebar height by 3/4 inch.
Need a lift? Slumping over to reach for your handlebars while standing up on the pegs off-road can become excruciating on long rides. Raising the bars upward can afford a more relaxed position on your dual sport motorcycle. Handlebar risers make this happen. And, if you plan to upgrade the bike with some oversized handlebars, what you need is a 7/8″ to 1-1/8″ handlebar adapter.
Tusk’s Universal Big Bar Clamp Kit does both. It’s lightweight, strong and installs easily on your existing stock 7/8″ diameter handlebar clamps. This Big Bar Clamp Kit lets you upgrade your bike with oversized handlebars and risers for a fraction of the market cost.

This is not a simple bolt on item (Tusk 1 1/8″ handlebar). Even the photo shows you need something like the Roxx bar risers to make it bit as the stock mount is for 7/8″ bars. This fact was not mentioned in the article.
Of course the very next farkle in the article is the handlebar adapter.
This was a good read. Great job, ADVPulse, and thanks for posting this story.
Great tips guys! I have the Ortlieb bag and love it!
Come on, a picture of a KLR in an article about cheap mods and no mention of milk crates?
Shoot! That would have been killer add-on. Right after the bungee net.

Hi Miguel. Which mod? The Tusk Handlebars?
Coleman saddle pad is barely a half inch thick and pretty useless. I gave mine away for free after a 600 mile ride in which mine did ZIP ZILCH NADA for comfort. In fact, I rode through rain and it made my behind and inner thighs feel about 1000x’s worse than if I didn’t have it.
Everyone’s different, I guess: I’ve heard a few different guys praise the Coleman as a cheap, yet useful add-on that gave them some saddle relief.
[…] riding in. I also put a lot of work into “restoring” my KLR, and added some essential farkles (include better hand-guards, a dash, crash bars, auxiliary lights, and additional storage). I try […]
