          no front brakes?

          Ok, I can sort of understand why people pull the mufflers off and run with open headers (want to be loud, and they think it improves performance).

          But, why would anyone in their right mind pull the front brakes off of a bike? This is the second "bobber" I've seen where the front brakes are missing. Is this some kind of death wish these people have?

            I see front brakes on there. The B&W picture even shows the brake lines.

            What I don't get is why people post pictures of something that are not current! The original exhaust is on there, so take a new picture with it! The bike has new grips, so why post a picture with no grips in it?? The only redeeming thing on this bike is the brass knuckles for the choke lever.

                You got sharper eyes than I do, I do see the lines in the black and white photo, but no perch or grips, as for the other photos,

                  Yeeuuup!

                  Definately agree with the brass knuckles. Only sweet thing about this bike. Dude needs to learn to proof read his posts as well. Pretty rough....ouch.

                  Also agree with the $400 parts bike statement.

                      There's morons like that all over the place. You should take a look at Seattle XS11 prices. The average price around there is around $2,000 and up. I saw one XS11 which was turbo charged. Awesome no doubt but he was asking $8500 for it. He mentioned something about the turbo being special addition, can't remember. I still wouldn't pay $8500 for it, but what do I know.

                        That turbo bike was bought out of the east coast and the guy didn't have it very long before it went up for sale again. I suspect it has 'issues'... As for 'normal' XS prices, yeah, you see a lot of high prices but you also see the same bikes for sale over and over, so they're not getting their asking prices. Some will see reason if cash is flashed, some won't....

                        The one I love is the rusty POS for sale in Centralia for $800; it's been listed for months.....
