The sound would be interesting but the looks in motion would no doubt be as unappealing those when stationary!Originally posted by Aches n Pains View PostXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard.

Bit of a joke though in that they look like something off a space rocket but will probably make the bike slower. Still, each to their own!Originally posted by mikubuilder View Post

Rejet won't be needed if the baffles are intact. There are photos in the bike pictures thread with those muffs mounted in the stock position. It's possible to fit them that way. R1 cans or GSX-R cans fit like that, and some models are light weight. Where I live in the PNWet, your proposed solution would not be the optimum solution.1980 XS 11 Special: The King of Kong, 9th wonder of the world.

overdoing it
If I did that I would have to add the Cafe Fairing and a gatliing gun on the right side.Originally posted by BobBaldy View PostIf it's worth doing, It's worth overdoing!
Ride it like you stole it, or get out of my way.
Don't worry if others don't like it, if you like it just smile and ride!

Hook up a in line fuel pump and run fuel lines to to end of the muffs where you have fuel Injector nozzles and then a spark plug right behind the nozzle that is on a coil wired in on a relay after the regular ignition coils. Hook the fuel pump relay and the coil relay up to a accessible button...you gots flames!Originally posted by BobBaldy View Post
Little harder to do this all on a bike. I especially don't like using a liquid agent like gasoline for the flames but it is a bit hard to find a place for a tank for something else on the bike.Nathan

Close but with good nozzle you get more distance rather than the plume.Nathan
