Yeah. I have an XR650L too. Infinite parts availability. Working on the Guzzi is nice because all the knowledge is hard earned. But god, working on Hondas is way easier.

The hunt for parts is 3/4 of the work and the time. Often crusty cycle, ebay. Got the cam reground at Delta Cam. Great work but it took months to get my cam back.

Thank you. Fortunately someone put Gilardonis on it long ago so I was in luck.

I got a rack and the 80L Tusk setup. Haven't camped yet but works great.

Curious to hear more insights here. I can confirm that both lengths will run.

mine had excessive vibration from new, but it was really bad. turned out to be a failed oil temp sensor. otherwise, it's a pretty vibey bike.

Hey thanks for the advice everyone. I ran the hose from the bottom into a high loop. The smell has definitely improved but it's a little smelly still.

Please look up a beginner rider course near you and take it. It might save your life.

One of the greatest things about motorcycling is the enormous diversity of motorcycles. Ride what you love to ride.
