I am one of many that own one.

Geezer's charges better and at lower RPM than stock. Stock doesnt charge till over 2500 rpm.

Buy one before he stops making them. Nice product.

Thank you John. I'm going to try to pin point out what had short out today, Im thinking if the ignition unit is short out, would that cause the bike not getting any power at all?? I've got 2 more extra one to swap out, hopefully that might be the cause of it. But definitely gonna order a new rectifier and regulator to re-do all the wiring system as well. So far, there are no electricity at all. But battery is full juice and no damage to the fuse???

looks good....the way it was was more my style. it does look nice though...do you have any of the stuff that came off it?? the tank looked like an xj tank. the back and side covers looked like one piece. let me know if you still have this stuff.

thanks a bunch

how do you like that exhaust? how does it sound? i just made a custom exhaust using stock standard headers, welded in an aftermarket baffle into the tip, then covered it using a welded on chrome turn down, finally got it all sorted and installed, but im still doing a few other things and havent gotten to start or hear it yet...it looks similar to yours only my tips are chrome...

I don't think he hangs out here anymore.

Enquiring minds want to know... Why did he sell it? That is if you know. Seems like from this old thread he was very enthused with it. Of course I suppose he may be one of those that once the thrill of the build was over is was on to other things.

Still Alive and kicking

So, I still own the bike, ride her often and turn every head on the road.. She has power in the low end that is unbelievable. and so far I topped her out at 110 before I got scared and backed off haahaa.. at 80mph the bike sits down and is smooth as butter.

Yeah rat bike or something that the purists will hate, sure hope you got the stamina to hear all about what you did "wrong" or how "I would've bought it to keep you from wrecking that pristine example of XS11 perfection." I wanna see what you are building I like build-up threads I sure hope you'll share how much fun you are having while you do it. That will help me ignore another barrage of complaining about how "I'd never do that."

Well, MadMax least left it correct.
