Anyone know where to find / buy one?

This keeps coming up there have been no diesel KLR's released as of today by the military, in fact HDT only made 214 of the production diesel bikes and 15 prototypes to start with. The USMC is getting out of the motorcycle biz, so maybe some will show up, but with less than 230 of them they will go for huge money and no of the shelf parts for the motors!
The only folks using bikes now are the Spec ops guys and most of them are COTS bikes or the gasser M1030B1's.
HDT no longer modifies the bikes or builds the diesel engine http://dieselmotorcycles.com/ .

Keep looking and hoping they'll come out of DRMO, but don't hold your breath on it.

The Army just did a big test with motorcycles and 4 wheelers at Ft Bliss. They had a thing in the paper about it with pictures but I don't have that paper anymore.

wow good information. I thought that they made more than that... too bad. As for the company not selling the motors... that really stinks...

I am sure retrofitting is too far out of the question for the KLR too...
