    Cooling with tank panniers

    2001 fe650 with a Clarke tank. I have a set of wolf man tank panniers to go on and it seems like they will block the holes on the sides of the tank. I'm wondering how much this will affect cooling. It's going to be used for dual sport rides, not single track. Ido I need worry about cooling...

    Newb with a crazy gas tank idea- will it work?

    So I'm getting a 2011 570 S and I was thinking about making a spare fuel tank out of the stock exhaust and mounting it on the left side of the bike. Figure it might hold a gallon and would look like the bike has dual exhausts. I'd make it so that you could pull it out and fill the gas tank...

    Is it possible to paint 570 tank and subframe?

    Well luckily I haven't painted my yet. Or I would have, but a friend of mine stopped by today and was asking wtf I am doing.
