    Greetings brother idiot!

    Well, create an account with photobucket www.photobucket.com

    Then upload whatever pics you want there. Once uploaded, just copy the IMG code that will appear under the pic, then paste into a message here,

      If you choose to use photobucket:

      1. Pick a photo to copy to your computer photos. Left click on mouse, save picture, name it. Now it should be stored in your computer photos.

      2. Sign into your photobucket account. If you already have photos there, you don't have to sign in to share but try it anyways if you are having problems.

      3. Hit the "Browse' button and it will bring up your computer photos to select from. Click on the one you want and it should take you back to the photobucket page with that photo id now showing on the first line next to "browse".

      Hit the upload button. It should load if the photo is not too large. It will tell you that the upload was successful and you will see that photo below.

      4. Left click on the words "Direct link" below the picture and you should see a yellow box with the word "Copied" appear.

      5. come on back to the XS11.com conversation page and just like you want to respond, click that on.

      At the top, you will see selections like "B, I, U, Size, etc... click on "IMG (image)". You may have to click something on your computer to allow popups. Put the mouse arrow in that area, right click and select "paste". You will see the image id appear in that box. Then click "OK" box to the upper right.

      You should see the image id numbers/letters appear in your message area.

      Go ahead and write whatever you want to add, then click "Post Now" like you always do with posts.

      See if that works for you.

      Good luck, Don

        That was much simpler than my long winded explanation.

                I don't see what a small instrument has to do with it?

                      Screamin,

                      Beautiful bike! I wish I could have kept my original exhaust but they were rusted. My SG looks almost identical to yours except I've got about 20+ hrs of polishing to do on my engine and rims.
                      That and I put on the Jardine 4 into 1 pipes.

                        your right

                        pro you are right about the manuals. the plastic bag had a new stater switch in it. now its on the bike. I also added a backrest and luggage rack for the Mrs. I am considering fairing and bags. Right now I have a siloettte windshield I use occasionally.
