    Let's See The XS's

    That is figgin awesome :laugh::laugh: must be a blast to ride. That Maico bike is pretty sweet too, an air cooled 490 two smoker dirt bike with twin rear shocks? Classic cool. Never heard of it before, it’s a bit before my time (my 82 XS is a cool decade older than me :D)

    What have you done to your XS today?

    These are the front blinkers before and after as well. The new blinkers were given to me by the seller of the bike so again, might be temporary but I’m digging them for now. Certainly nice having blinkers that work now :bike:

    If the damn seat that’s on it was skinnier it would really streamline the bike, but alas, she got wide hips that don’t lie:rolleyes:

    When I bought my bike the red tail light cover was missing, the rear blinkers were being held on with duct tape and both front and rear right side blinkers failed to turn on. I wanted to do a less obtrusive lighting system in the rear and put on this LED taillight-blinker- license plate holder...

    Im about 6 foot. But I’m just more used to the upright riding position of my dirt bike and that was my main motivation for the bar change. Also I never took her out on a real ride in town with those bars so I couldn’t really say how they would feel over time. For the record my new bar position...

    This is a pretty typical answer from someone talking about their own bike, but I feel it’s “just right.” At idle and a couple stand still revs its aggressive but not obnoxious. I’m waiting for a dmv appointment to get M license, but the few times I’ve taken her down the street it really sounds...

    Well that explains the BUB stamp on one of the flanges haha. This bike keeps surprising me with cool little things. Thanks for the info

    They are one of the few mystery parts I haven’t found online. When I first got the bike they were covered in black on the inside tips and I just happened to wipe it one day to discover some cool looking circular welds.

    They were the first thing I changed. I wanted a more upright riding position so I put some black Rethal bars like I had on my dirt bike. Much more comfortable for my height

    I bought this beauty around a month ago. I’ve had many Atvs and Dirtbikes growing up but this is my first motorcycle for the road. I got really lucky buying an older bike with such a big community and available parts. I mainly chose it for the price and condition. The closest DMV appointment was...
