I've been an enthusiast of Dual Sport (Enduro) motorcycles since a pre-teen. I've always owned atleast one Dual Sport bike for the past 20 years. In the mid 1980's, I became infatuated with the styling of the "Paris-Dakar" factory race bikes. That styling never really caught on in the States, because of that, selection was limited. This is the story of how I turned my 1985 Yamaha XT 600 into the Repli-Raider it is today. If you or someone you know is interested in the same, feel free to join this group and share your experiences.
