Hi there, thought I 'd better post another Kiwi XS on this great site. This is a 1978 bike purchased as a runner but was in need of some attention. I was originally going to go hardtail but decided to stay true to the bobber theme by loosing the bling and trying to keep it simple. Tank, lights, fuel line parts etc imported from LowBrow Customs, I shortened the seat frame and cut off non essential parts but basically thats it, the rest of it is original factory. I'll eventually replace the throttle, clutch and electric controls etc as the kudo's come in but its back on the road and thats cool. The bike sounds awesome with throttle but jerky in the mid range cruising speed otherwise all's good.
