  • A bunch of pictures of my bike

    Well I got a little bored so I decided to share some pictures of my bike that I took today. The first picture looks like it should be in a XS11 calender!

    Also, does anyone know where I can get another exhaust stud? Mine was stripped the last time I put the exhaust on. No big deal, but I can't find a new one.

        Hey AkMac,

        Again, that's a beautiful machine, but have to razz on ya a bit!

        You missed an angle, from right rear so we could see the end of your tailpipe!

        Secondly, you missed a spot for chrome! The rim of the tank at the front where it wraps around the frame! I was able to get some door trim many years ago, and cut it to fit, still there and still looks good!!

            I like the color. I was thinking about one something like it for my own. What is it called?

                Thanks guys. I'll see if I can talk to some of the girlie's I work with to do a photo shoot This is a family website, correct?

                Topcat, I thought about putting a trim piece on the front of the tank, but I was afraid of not liking it and having a scratch where it was installed. I know, it sounds stupid but I'm very protective of this bike. What I really need is a way to put stainless on the throttle and clutch cables.

                Tomkat, I'm not sure of the exact color. All I know is the paint is from a company in Germany.

                  JC Whitney has cable cover that is used over standard cables. It works like the old "Chinese finger traps". Push the ends together and it makes a larger diameter to slip over the ends of the cable. Then stretch it back out and the diameter decreases to hug the cable housing.
