New member here so I thought I'd tell you about my xs. It's a 1972 standard bike that has been imported to UK from the US. It needs a bit of work to get it on the road and I am going to sprint it next year.
I can't afford to up the cc to 750, probably do that for 2011, but for now I'm going to lighten the frame as much as possible. Fit avon AM26 tyres. Fit a two into one exhaust manifold and muffler and some vm carbs. Also an electronic brandson ignition.
I did'nt realise how low the frames were on these bikes so I am going to lift it up a bit at the back with new springs and shocks.
Has any one else lifted one of these up?
Any other ideas please let me know. Thanks Ben
