inexpensive saddlebags

Finally got around to doing my doohickey on my A15 (12K miles), and it turns out that my doohickey was already broken off and top of the thing is gone. What do I do now? Assume the parts were mulched up in the engine? Drain the oil and hope everything comes out? What? Thanks for the feedback! Erik A15 - Miami

1. drain oil... might get lucky 2. left hand side hole below rotor use a pencil magnate and fish inside... might get lucky 3. remove right hand side cover remove oil screen below clutch thats where I found mine.... might get lucky 4. buy a magnetic oil drain plug and go riding WVD --- Schelzig wrote:

Filter the oil through a tight mesh filter (pantyhose works well) and look for the piece. Otherwise I'd start fishing around and behind the Rotor magnet, then the bottom of the case, and lastly remove the right side cover and look in the oil pump intake screen. Todd

In preparation for my long distance trip to the "Tail of the Dragon" in Deal's Gap TN, this September, I ordered some saddlebags from: http://www.try-tech.com/bikes/sb_prices.htm I was pretty impressed with the price, $112.00 (delivered), and their size, so I ordered a set. Received them in two days, and installed them last night, and they fit perfectly on the KLR with many adjustment options. I rode to work (22 miles one way) with them this morning and they didn't move around and never got in my way! They have 46 liters of total storage and come with rain covers that you can either put around the bags, or use inside the bag, covering your gear! I was a little concerned about not having a saddlebag "shield" for the muffler, but these things have a huge amount of "heat" protection incorporated to the inner sides and bottom of the bags. As soon as I dismounted, this morning, I checked on how hot the muffler side was, but it was only warm to the touch. I'm still gonna get a saddlebag shield from Fred Hink's site. So far, I'm pretty impressed with them. You can see pics of the mounted bags at: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, then PHOTOS, MEMBER PIC'S, JOE'S KLR. Joe A15 Carbondale, Kansas
