I have a bicycle tail bag I use for a tank bag, 20$ but it's not WP. Gets in the way standing up too. I don't use it much any more.

If you end up going with the wolfman bag, go through Motostrano, they give ADV members a discount and they ship FAST

There is also a wolfman baggage thread that motostrano runs on this site....

FWIW, I have a couple wolfman products and I really like them, they are well made and fit very well.

Quick question for the cognoscenti:

I love my 650L but dearly miss the snap of my old 600R. (and I don't mind the kicking)

So, will the 600R engine bolt directly into the 650L frame? or are there differences in the mounting?

thanks

x2 I bought wolfman yellow panniers for my old bike at motostrano way back and they had a huge discount...wasnt a member of adv yet...bummer

the wolfman stuff is top notch

a nice trick is to go to rei and buy some SEAM SEALER ....it works great in sealing up the actuall stitching and zipper areas...that way you really have a wateproof bag...

cheers

I am wondering if the big difference had something to do with the gearing. The XR600 should have a 14/48 setup and the XRL is 15/45.
Did you try changing the gearing? I noticed a big difference when I changed from the stock gearing to a 14/45. I have a 48T sitting in the garage that I am going to try very soon... I am sure that will give the bike even more snap...

I would give that a shot before you go throught the trouble & cost of switching to the XR600 motor.

Cheers,

I think the heavy ass flwheel and stock carb has more to do with it than anything else...jejej oh and a couple pounds here and there

[beechum1]

can never go wrong with wolfman stuff

Kenny I don't want you to be sad or feel under appreciated so I have a question you can answer for me.

Ready?

The primary reduction is steeper on the 600R as well.

Thanks guys,
Yes, I was told that just changing the carb would make a big difference. The donor I am looking at also has the inverted fork conversion
