I added a Pingry Oil tank and air scoops. My "seat of the pants" field measurement was positive. The bike felt cooler on my legs.

Forgot to mention that I have a 416 (10.8) and an XR400 Cam and ride mostly in the dunes (very steep hills).

I have a brand new Pingry tank sitting right here beside my desk that I just ordered last week...going out to get anodized this week. I like the concept of having an extra quart of oil though, and the construction and quality of the tank seems good, but I still can't get over what I paid for it. Just seems like a lot of money for an aluminum oil tank... At any rate, an oversized tank might be overkill for a stock motor unless you race or run the motor really hard, but I think it's almost a necessity once you bore the engine or run a higher compression piston. Mine definitely runs hotter in the sand after my 416 mods than when it was stock, so I'm interested what the extra oil capacity will do for cooling.
