I need some pipes to go with my build. The stock pipes just aren't cutting it.

I need some new bars

Enter me....I need some motivation to get back on my XS project.

I would be interested in 30t sprocket bronze swingarm bushings tapered steering bearing fork brace carb holders (http://jbmindustries.com/HOLDERS.html) pods and jet kits for pods

Awesome bike. What's on top of the headlight? Do you have any close-up pix of it?

I know this is an old post, but does anyone have a good link for this info. The above link points to lowbrow customs, but I cannot find the video on modding a trailer fender.

nice score! Will definitely follow this thread

Ok, I figured out part of my problem. I was still in gear and I was NOT holding the throttle wide open. So, I put it in neutral and tried it again with a WOT. The battery had gone dead (another issue I'm fixing with the Banshee upgrade) and the engine had cooled slightly. So, I was kicking...
