crossbar bag

I've yet to find a small bag for the handlebar crossbar of my KLR that won't rub the tank. Who know of one? Thanks, RD

If you've still got the windscreen on your KLR, you might look at Wolfman's Glove Box. It's pretty darn handy and isn't in the way. I sometimes use one of the little bags that came with my Chase Harper ET 4000 saddlebags, but it does rub the tank some. __Arden

Just that the average piston speed is not that much different in the KLR or other higher performance bikes. Piston acceleration is a far better indicator of the stress and strain on an engine than is crankshaft RPM. The thread was far better than which colour of oil is best. Norm
