I just bought a 1999 KLR 650. I traded my 88 for it. Anyway it had a nice truck bag. I don't know what brand it was but I would like to buy another. Does anyone have any recomendations for a truck bag. Thanks Kyle

Hi All. The newest KLR650-C6 at my dealer (I`m in Canada) has a dual piston caliper in the front. The disk looks something larger but I could be wrong. I asked the dealer if it would fit on the A model but he said NO. As I dont really trust my dealer... (one of the employees was once talking about a new engine that had two pistons per cylinder and said it was an 8 stroke. I swear to God. If anyone knows something about it let me know cause I`m really confused. Was he right about this or was he just plain STUPID?????????) ...I would like to see it for myself. If anyone has access to the model C type calipers, could they try to see if it fits on a A model KLR. You can see the C model at www.kawasaki.ca The KL650-C6. If you look at the front caliper, it is almost double the size of the KLR650-A14 caliper. One day if I have the time and money I will rent the KL650-C6 bring it to my house and try to fit the caliper on my A8... And if I have the guts bring back the C model with my old caliper..and laugh like DR. Evil HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...... Also I`m wondering if the caliper of any other Kawasaki would fit on the KLR. Or maybe the whole front end of lets say a Concours... If the Honda front end worked then why not. Has anybody tried DOT 5 brake fluid. I`m pretty sure it will make a diference. Ride her hard. Raz A8
