    We try!

    I and four of my buddies have five and of the five one has stock exhaust but I do like my Kerker and have had one on all three that I have had but other than
    that all stock we just got number five from the shop so have plans on going to bike night this spring at Quaker Steak and Lube in Council Bluffs Iowa with two other XS riders and pulling in with seven we will take some pictures of that for sure.

      thats the making of a mini rallie
      when you want something bad enough, don't let anything stand in your way, and don't take "no" for an answer. EVER

          Well yes and no

          All my bikes get restored to show room condition. Complete teardown and replacement of any suspect parts with OEM parts. However I also upgrade the fuse panel, I install Geezers regulator, A Tkat fork brace, everyone gets the James Englands left wheel bearing, auto CCT's and the seat on this E will be a king/Queen

              SF's

              The SF fit's my eye as well. Of all the XS's, I like it the best. It just looks like a bike should to me. I've been in love with this one for 35 years and it looks the same today as it did the day I drove it out of the hospital parking lot.

                      That's a good site George.

                      Kerras, along with the site George suggested, you may also PM AndreasWeiss our resident parts pro.
                      Also you may want to post in the parts wanted section.
                      His contact info: "no calls after 8pm pacific if calling 1 250 495 3445, as always money back if you are ever not happy with what ya got."

                      1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
                      1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
                      1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
                      1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
                      1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

                      Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
