    New guy from Texas

    Greetings Everyone,

    Have joined the site in the hopes of getting some help to keep the "Punisher" on the road. Punisher is an 80 XS1100, that has been customized with: Wiseco 1200 kit, JR balanced crank, Punisher paint job gold on black, custom head and tail lights, custom seat, and K&N filters. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

    You should have no problems getting any question you have answered. And there may also be some of these guys near you that can lend a hand wrenching as well. Welcome to the site

                  Greetings from Texas

                  Thanks for all the positive info. Would love to post pics but I cant figure it out. I guess it will require some help from you guys, please. I will make an attempt with this post. San Marcos is located between San Antonio and Austin on IH35. It is a college town (Texas State University). I live midway between San Marcos and Wimberly in the Hill Country away from the college crazies. Thanks again for all the info.

                      Go to photobucket.com, open an account (free) and upload pics (can get droid app too) copy the IMG code and paste into thread.
                      Done.
                      Some have used google photo album too, but I haven't had luck with that one.

                              That’s a nice looking bike that you have there. What is the headlight from? I built a bike for my daughter and son-in-law for their wedding (they got it a year later) that had the punisher theme. It started as an 80 LG. It was the first bike I completed that I didn't use a rattle can.
                              (Sorry for the blurry picture. )

                              I really like how clean the lines are on your bike. You said you needed help getting it on the road, what kind of help do you need?
