Some cheaper ones?

For cheap I'd go Rotopax, carry a couple more gallons on side racks or the tail rack. 6.6 gallons should give you 350 miles (+-565K) unless you're in really tough country.

Hello all,
I have been checking out this site and the 650 Dakar thread in particular. You guys have inspired me to change my mostly street ways. I looked around and found an '01 Dakar. I will be picking it up in a couple of days. It has 13K on the odo and the dealer did the 12K service ($1350.00) before putting it up for sale. Paid $3500.00 with panniers and other farkles. I will probably have some questions when I get it, so, thanks in advance. BTW, I'm in southern IN if anyone knows of any good places to ride in the area.

Eeek!!...

I don't know but it doesn't look to happy in there. Does the engine have any problems performance wise?

Benjah · 02-22-2012, 01:51 AM

Kubiak,

Bike is looking shit hot.

That color scheme really settles the form of the bike.

Sparqq · 02-22-2012, 03:44 AM

Nice colors Kubiak, I had almost the color plans in mind for my dakar.

Power seems fine but it's spitting out pretty good now. I'm going to see if the coolent is low.
