Does anyone have a hitch carrier I can borrow or they are looking to sell. If I borrrow it I need to pick it up by friday night and will return it Sat night or Sun morning. dc
Are you looking for flavor that hauls a m/c? Or just one of those "tailgate party" deals?

For a motorcycle... Looking to cut down on tolls
No dice on my end, then. I've got one that's intended for luggage/gear/roadkill. Unfortunately I promised my m/c trailer to someone else already for the weekend.
If all else fails consider renting a 4x7 utility trailer at U-Haul at ~$20/day. But that might equal the cost of tolls, of course, depending on where you're headed.
I have a trailer just trying to keep it simple and light. Thanks for the knowledge.
I've got one that you are welcome to borrow. PM me your digits and we can work out the details.

Something to play in the mud and like... [drool]
1994 xr650l
My dad has a 650L. Good all-around bike. I'd recommend a dip-stick thermometer and ride such that temps stay below 250. If you tend toward the spirited side its not impossible to cook one in short order. If you have a hard time keeping temps below 250 fit an oil cooler from an XR400R and consider a big-fin head. My dad is a fairly smooth, relaxed rider and has no issues with temps. I generally don't have issues with temps on hard or slippery ground. In open stuff or in sand I have to really watch myself on it (and that's why God made XR650Rs [evil]). It benefits tremendously from stiffer-than-stock fork springs as well.

Thanks for the advice... One of the guys on a forum created a cooler for the 650l. I plan to do it. Do u have a source for the temp gage? XRonly has been sold out for a while. dc
I got one for my dad's XR from Scot Summers Racing (SRC) - don't know if they are still selling them or not. Some of the forum-oil-coolers I've seen looked a bit sketchy so pay attention to what they are offering. You don't want some fragile thing hanging off down low or worse mounted to the front/bottom of the engine if you'll be going off road. Its essentially impossible to break the XR400 cooler (it wraps around the front lower steering head area). It isn't a huge cooler, but should knock enough temp off to keep a stock-ish motor alive no matter how hard you thrash it. You may not have any temp problems though so see if you can get the gauge before you go for a cooler. All depends on how you ride it [thumbsup]
