Some old pictures I found of a solo trip to the desert that I made in April/May of 2003. The bike was a 1986 Honda XL600L with a big tank off a XL600M and very little else.
The franken-motor was a miss-mash of Honda RFVC motors including an XR, XL and XBR parts with a Honda NX650 Dominator crankcase and barrel. It was rebored to 720cc with a Wiseco piston.
The bike was light, torquey and was fantastic to ride in the desert without luggage but was a pig when laden down with tools, camping gear and water.
