Yeah local auto stores have them mine was out of stock and had them the next day...although they made my xs run kinda shitty could never get it right and felt as if the sound wasnt as good.
I dealt with them on my hard tail and I think its only one or two guys, so they are a little slow on turn around but were professional when they did reply. The hard tail quality was great.
Great bikes! My first bike was an xj with a 750 in it than swapped a 650. Honestly couldnt tell much a difference. You can cosmetically change them however you want and though it ran great I was never happy with the lines. The shaft drive is nice and low maintenance and they run great when...
Yeah there are always sacrifices when chopping a bike but should be performing at least as well as last year.
Didn't know about the bikes to beach so no. But heres some details on the ride to skate.

thanks for the hep guys, i moved the pilot a 1/4 turn up and oiled my pods and it pulled clean after letting it warm up around the block. Maybe a temp fix but im there for now have to take it out longer and check the plugs.
Littlebill you going to the ride to skate in may always need a few...
g.scott drags, xs pods, last year same set up was running 47.5 p, 135 main and was good, went to 145main and work down 1 size at a time trying to get it right.
I cant seem to get my carbs dialed in this year after the top end rebuild. I can get it to idle starts first kick pretty much every time, but cant seem to get the 1/4 to 3/4 throttle to pull without sputtering/chugging.
stock bore top-end
pamco ignition,
bs 34 xsjohn needles now at 137.5...
Keep having trouple with the advance unit... the little pin constantly fell out got a used/new back was good for a couple weeks and then
any one else had trouble with these? Gonna try a whole new unit see if it holds up.
Took some pics during a shakedown run.
New top end, frisco tank mounts, front wheel, fender, sissybar, seat, headlight, and brake linkage. Crappy phone pics.
