Very cool ride

you need to try to put the pic in this magazine called Behind Barz.

A bike like that needs to be in a magazine for a lot of others to see it.

SC Rally

Hey man, you need to take that bike down to SC and show it and see what you can win. a bike like that should definitly come in 1st PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one mirror?

I see you only have one mirror...is that the intent?It looks a little odd that way otherwise a real stunning bike!

[Wildkat]

Never even thought about it not having a front fender...

with the known wobble these things have... how does it handle without any reinforcement on the forks? (not that the fender provides that much... but it does some)

[xs11lover]

It's not finished yet, fork brace, fender, and yes another rear view will get on in time. I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer. It's a work in progress......

My winter project What do you think?

I think you should send me that seat , would look real nice on my hot rod...

Engine/exhaust be really cool Have a few black engines and one with polished fins. Plan to do the fins on the others eventually

That be one "BUFFED XS", very nice.

Very nice. I am in with "add a fender group" to keep it looking sweet. There's a lot of crap on the road to chip, scratch and crud up the bike.

What do I think? Well, both my son and I think you did an awesome job. It looks great!

Hey XS11Lover,

That is one fine looking Special/Standard with "Badittude"!!!

I like how the clubman bars seem to embrace the round gauges. Nice work on seat and fender as well! Are you going to put a FRONT fender on it, or just let the rain slosh all over those nice new pipes?? Or is it going to be a FAIR WEATHER ONLY ride?

I wouldn't blame you for that at all. As for the Emgo filters, several threads, plus a couple of tech tips for mods IN CASE they do cause you problems with the higher rpms, bogging, flooding, etc., due to the possible restriction of air flow thru the ports on the inlet bell!

Folks have recently posted about some filters from MikesXS that are larger, say "XS" on them, and don't have the prominent mounting lip that "can" interfere with the air flow! I know you've already invested $$ in these, but you don't want the performance to falter due to a relatively simple and cheap fix!
T.C.

Top Kat, I should have listened to you two years ago. Those little filters do suck. Or not enough.....I had to come back and see who told me to change them.
Next time I'll listen.
"hear me now, believe me yesterday, understand me later"

Love it! Love the seat/fender! I would kill for a supertrapp! Have you run it yet? Did you modify those pods? They look like the EMGO ones that obstruct the airjets.

Woops, sorry it was XSPROJECT.
I can't get anything right.

Yeah, from what I hear, that can be a pain to trouble shoot out. If you haven't already replaced them, the ones from mikesxs are really nice.
