[FJ111200]

thanks garth

The headlight is an Acerbis, mainly used for moto x, and just uses some Halogen lights found in the local hardware store, which was a bit of a nightmare riding back from the XS 30th Anniversary rally in Germany at night, and the fender is actually an FJ1100 tail unit with some modification, read cut up, with some LED lights bolted on, not seen in the picture.

That headlight looks pretty freakin cool to me.

Thanks DJ,
but don't let anyone know from the UK register, they'll all want one . I reckon my XS is the rattiest one on there.
I think Acerbis originate in Italy, they also make plastic gas tanks, which i enquired about for the XS but they don't make one. That headlight was £2.99 off eBay, retail between £60 and £80 at the moment.

Barberad,

OK, it's down right sick how clean and awesome looking that bike is. Quit setting the bar so high for the rest of us, would ya?

It's all in the trick lighting and crappy digital camera. I am a firm believer that all my motorcycles should only be viewed and photographed from a distance of 10 feet or greater.

Hey Dan,

Way to fill a parking spot Oh yeah, nice looking ride too!!!

Dan,
you've got a supertrapp? I didn't know they made those for these bikes. That has to be thunderous. How much was it? Also, how much extra oil goes in the bike with the addition of the oil cooler. I've got one I'm installing over the winter.

This particular S/T system was purchased in 1987 by me but I didn't put it into service untill 2006. I have three different megaphones and each has a different muffler combination. One has a 2.5 inch glass wrapped core, one has a 2 inch glass wrapped core and one has a mechanical baffle with diffuser disk. The S/T is 3 pounds heavier than a Kerker system which I also have but the S/T is of double wall construction and doesn't discolor the head pipes. A complete S/T system for one of these things was about $300.00 in the 80's and the extra megs were $150.00 each. S/T also made an identical system in polished stainless but I don't recall the price but it cost some more. My oil cooler is a Lockhart 600 automatic, has 6 rows of fins and the oil capacity with a filter is 4 quarts. The S/T with the 2.5 inch core will wake up the children and cause pace makers to malfunction, no doubt!
