Mantt, DR650 seat, initial review

[@justgjt]

Great review Dino. Very thorough review. Patio makeover looks the bomb also. Thanks for sharing.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thanks for the comment, and the complement on the deck 😁

[@vitruvianmask]

hey Dino, thanks for all your tinkering videos. Fresh DR (and Ontario) rider here, and I'm just here to say you've earned the heck out of this subscribe 😁 cheers, hope to see you around Niagara 👍

[@DinosTinkerShed]

@VictorCristianMateescu hey, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Enjoy both the DR and Ontario. Dino

Hi Deno unfortunately my DR got totaled in an accident. I picked up a new 23 v-storm 800 DE adventure. What a bike that is. I am planning on doing a DR build video set . I think I want to start with a new DR that would be interesting. After watching your videos and putting about 6500 miles on mine I think I know what would be the best upgrades. I still love watching your videos keep up the good work. And fyi the HWK gear protected me in a bad crash. No road rash just a broken leg and C7 I am up and going 😊if you would like to see in Arizona central for now let me know.

That seat looks very good. Great review Dino. I find a sheep cover works for me. Your work on the pergola looks very professional.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thanks for the feedback Mal, I'm liking the idea of the sheepskin for sure. I'm glad you like the pergola, it's a lot of work for sure 😁

@@DinosTinkerShed I went for a wider seat(seat concepts) + a sheepskin on my DR. It’s great as a combination.

Didn't see your sled in the shed! Hope you didn't give up snowmobiling dino! Keep up the great videos!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Lol nope it's in the trailer this season. Good catch. Dino

In the US, the ManTT products are sold under the name xitomer. I have a few of the Mantt products on my KLR and have been impressed by the quality. They are the 'top tier' of the Chinese bike parts.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

That's great information, thanks for sharing Dino

[@TLOverlander]

Deck looks great, Dino! Even too hot to be out in the new shade! I used sheep skin in the Bronco. HUGE game changer! 👍🏻 We should go visit my friend Jason at Flyte Upholstery!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thanks Eric, let's do that, let me know your schedule and we can make a trip Dino

[@mikeh.4087]

Great job on the house deck. Glad to see your shed gets messy sometimes too! Haha.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Oh ya, it's always a fight to keep it clean. Dino

[@bobclapper2672]

Nice Deck

[@SWATT101]

....pardon...lol

[@JarrodLeis-ep3se]

Another useful review on an important topic for the DR community Dino. 👍 In a perfect world it would be nice to gather a group of bikes with all of the popular seat options together and compare. When I bought my seat I was torn between the Seat Concepts regular and the Sargent. Ended up going with the Seat Concepts based on nothing but looking at pics and price. That said, I’m very pleased with Seat Concepts seat.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Hey, thanks for the comment and great feedback. Dino

[@Skidmate]

Awesome review Dino! Yes we really like the sheepskin🐑, it works well but I find it slides around when going offroad. Haha, but I don't want to change my Retro DR650 seatcover. So sometimes I just have to accept the sore buttocks. Cheers from the Netherlands 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🐿️

[@scottmacleod6301]

Looks nice. Hope procycle gets them.

Great job on the deck! It looks great. Thanks for the review of the seat. This could be marketed in the US as Xitomer?

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thanks for the comment, it could before sure. I would think it's a mass produced and rebranded product. Dino

[@charlienowell]

Dino! Are you on any forums or FB? Trying to get ahold of you and touch base on some DR topics to shoot back and forth. Thanks man

[@DinosTinkerShed]

I am on drrider but mostly a lurker lol.

[@ELBertoProductions]

Hey Dino, my DR 650 takes alot of cranking with choke on to get started, after started when i turn choke off or if i give it gas with throttle it shuts off, any tips? Thanks!

[@unskilledlabor1]

You been working out Dino? Looking lean and mean these days...

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Lol, my new job is quite physical and helps with the weight loss.
