Tkat brace, new coils/wires/plugs, refurbed carbs (thanks 81 xsproject), recon'd top end, windshield (thanks dpotter58), resprayed tank and panels, 4-1 exhaust, sweet xs pod filters, in line fuel filters, progressive springs, thick hand grips, jumped headlight relay.
I didn't have the bike running at the time. It was starved for fuel and i couldn't figure out why. But it was just a couple kinked fuel lines. Hopefully i can get some pod filters and get rid of that air box to correct the problem! But yeah i saw it in person today HOLY CRAP! That thing is crazy!
Yes it's a damn nice bike, yes it's in REALLY good condition, yes it would be a shame to chop it, BUT damn how cool would it look with ape hangers?
