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.

Something to play in the mud and like...

1994 xr650l

[bikepilot]

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 ).  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
