Also, I wonder about the Ross Perot ears.... Are they supposed to help cooling? Hard to see they would really make a difference.

Fortunately, the SMOG tumor is easy to remove.
I will post before, and after photos, to show the results of my "surgery."
I agree about the "elephant ears." :roll: The XR650L employs a dry sump engine, with an oil reservoir/cooler in the upper part of the bike's frame. The "elephant ears" are definitely meant to enhance engine cooling. :roll:
The Clarke fuel tank I ordered doesn't employ the "elephant ears."
Many XR650L owner's remove the "elephant ears," even if they keep the stock fuel tank! Therefore, I plan to perform otoplasty on Porky today!
