toolbox or wind?
What's the consensus on attaching a toolbox low down in front of the engine (XT600)? I mean something like a transversally mounted tube, diameter some 12 cm and width perhaps 30-35cm. Do these contraptions tend to result in overheating and problems in the lower end of the engine? The bike has a well perforated skid plate. The tube would fit otherwise quite nicely and not reduce ground clearance etc. (it would a bit below the oil filter level).
Throwing in an oil cooler in would compensate this but since I'm not about to head to Sahara but rather enjoy less extreme heat in Europe I'm not yet set to do that. Experiences on this would be nice to hear. Thanks.
