Steve, Since I am going to be buying the parts for the front any suggestions for whose wheel I should get. I was thinking of dropping some coin and calling Woody for the parts. If I go that route I will PM you for an addy and I ship the hub to you and have the parts shipped direct to you.

I know I'll owe you some $$, I may just have to send some fermented hops your direction also. I have a buddy that makes a nice home brew.

This will have to be a late winter early spring project. Still recovering from getting a second set of wheels for the BMW.

I am looking to buy a oil separator and hoses for the L. Does anyone have one they would sell? Pm me and let me know. I might have some stock parts we could trade for. Thanks Ben

Lonestar,

Best bet is to find a CRF-X front wheel. X axle and speed-o drive and your set to use the OE speedometer. If you can source these parts it's plug 'n play. If you want to use a Vapor computer then a R wheel will do. Depending on what triples you get you have a couple of choices for the stem. Emig if you use CRF triples, OE if the RSW triple or get a CRF and turn it down.

So if you get the CRF forks turned down you can use the stock XRL triples?

I will start scouring adv and flea bay. I like the RSW triples so I will be going that way. That with the Sanjon lights and mask should be sweet!

XR400 oil cooler

Figured I would give you guys the first offer on this one before I put it in the flea market. I'll post it up there tomorrow. The first buyer fell thru so..... I have an XR400 oil cooler for sale. Its just the cooler, no lines or anything. Its in a bag, wrapped in duct tape, and then another bag. Didn't want it leaking on my stuff.

After looking on Ebay I figured a good price would be... $110 shipped.

Ya, I had it on a shelf because someone wanted it. Since he was using the postal system with a check I gave him a lot of time. However its been 3 weeks with very little communications. So I've decided not to sell it to him since his last email said "The wife should have sent it out a week ago, I'll check it out when I get home and email you back." That was about 4 days ago. If his check ever shows up, I'm ripping it up and trashing it.

So its now for sale again. Do you want it?

Today I did some maintenance on my XR650L, so I took the opportunity to examine my chain slipper roller. Here is a photograph of that roller after 29,000 miles of wear.

For the purpose of comparison, here is a photograph of the same chain roller after 8,000 miles of wear.

I am very pleased with this chain roller; it only cost $10, and is virtually maintenance free.

At this rate of wear, my chain slipper roller might last the lifetime of the motorcycle.

This chain roller makes a little noise, but I don't find it objectionable. If you decide to install a similar chain roller, I do recommend you add extra grease to the sealed bearings.

Ill be doing this mod when I get my new chain and rear sprocket next month. Am already on my second stock roller in 40,000 miles. They cost more than $10 from the dealer.
