Talking New Member ,just bought a 2005 DR650SE

Got my 2005 Suzuki DR650SE on June 6th 2005 and i love it. only thing i hate is the dam seat. which i have some reviews and everyone complains about the same thing. Got it in Blue and took it off road three time had some fun but was very careful. since i havent rode a bike in awhile before i got this and i have been taking it very easy, i like my skin and my bones in working order so i have been very careful. then my brothers friend comes by with his 2003 GSX-R1000 and let me take it for a spin and well. I LOVE IT . always wanted a sport bike but didnt want to get one for my first bike.but in about oct or nov i will be getting a 2006 GSX-R1000 and i might keep the dr650se for dirt. now for the 05 dr650se i have where can i get some aftermarket parts for it. i have been looking with no luck. just maybe looking in the wrong area. some pics before of my bike.

Is that black paint on top of the fender called a seat? Aftermarket seat time buddy, enjoy your ride!

Did you try eBay Motors? It seems you can find almost anything under the sun at eBay. Speaking of seats, here's a gel seat I found on eBay: Suzuki DR650 Gel Seat

Corbin also makes seats for your bike. Enjoy the ride!

Hey man, no probs! You can also do a google search on "suzuki dr650 parts." You may be able to find places that have parts you need for your bike.
