I bought engine crash bars for an 2001 xt600e from a German company called Wunderlich. They answer e mails in English and will send you a catalogue on request.
Heres my tuppence worth on carrying fuel jerricans.I braced the engine crash bars to the frame and mounted a 10 litre jerrican either side and then uprated the fork springs with progressive springs. Big mistake that sort of weight should be at the back of the bike. I got the idea from an earlier XT i had bought, this model was a 1986 XT 1VJ model and had been fitted with a jerrican rack. It was mounted from 3 good strong points. This model is better suited for this modification.
I also fitted a cut down small army ammo can to a CRD bashplate, great for carrying heavy tools and money. The only point that concerned me was the ammo box covered a lot of the front ventillation holes in the bashplate and may have caused overheating. (No external oil cooler fitted)
