  • I warned the POS not to P*ss me off! - Pic

    Here is what happens when you are really really mad at your XS for letting you down. ;-)

    LOL, nice.... I see the engine has been repainted.

    This is how an original black engine looks like



    But I like yor paintjob tho...
    And I really need to get some more recent pics of my eleven.

      I thought about filing the edge of the fins, but decided to leave it the way it was. I have played with a no. of original MIdnight Specials and the paint is totally different to what I did.

        Hmmm picture is all of a sudden unavailable. Let's put it here and see if it shows up instead. Weird.

                I suppose that brings you back to just about the tank capacity of a Special, eh Courtney?

                  Glad to see someone else with a flat black bike. I just painted my Special flat black and I really like the look. I am in the process of sand blasting my extra fenders (bought on eBay so I don't screw up the originals) and going to paint them black too. I went so far as to remove all decals and logos from my bike and fill in the holes. I wonder if I can solder the Yamaha name in on the side of the engine so that only real XSives know what the machine is. *grin*

                    That similar to my Mongrel. It's an 80 Special with a 79 standard front end and gauges and I'll be putting a standard tank on it later. I'll post some pix as soon as I have a place to put them.

                      did someone say blacked out and stealth...the only places it gives a hint is where it says "Yamaha" on the engine case covers.
