Never mind,..turns out it is a scam. Same owner has it listed all across the country and one guy actually posted a Craigslist ad warning. Wife of owner is out of state, use Ebay ecscrow to hold funds, blah, blah, blah,................crap.
Did a little more digging and wow!! Good ones are going for some serious coin!!
I had one for awhile that was painted up Repsol colors and had a Suzuki style headlight. Bought it for $3000 and later sold it for $4200. Wish I still had it.

Paypal sent. Let me know where I can have it picked up.

We've installed sets of these on several HD's and big cruisers. I would give these guys a call and see if they can help/advise.

For what its worth - TRX90 is the only recent Japanese youth ATV with manual shift - no clutch though. Hauls ass compared to most other 90's/110's.

I saw and am giving strong consideration. Need to lock down this employment thing first.

Ya. If you have any interest in Hanks Turbo that resides in my garage let me know. I am definitely selling it this spring/summer. Teenager driving now and will need the garage space for his soon-to-be-wrecked car...
PM me details.

How the fuck did I miss that! Very interesting. i wonder about doing this setup with aftermarket/low weight ZX wheels. I really want to try and drop 20 more lbs off the old girl.
-
So - is there a list of exactly what is needed for that somewhere.
-
So is it worth swapping to a ZX front end - or just try to jump full Ohlins? And is there a full Ohlins for the XX?

ULTIMATE (to me) is fitting the bike with an experimental AI and fitting a neodymium skin underlay matrix built of nano-meshed rare earth magnets so you can't scuff the bike in a lowside.

Helps to know...
1. What mods already are on the bike?
2. What do you REALLY plan to use the bike for?
For "sport" touring, you don't need to add much. I went to braided clutch and brake lines. If you do this, go for longer lengths to the master cylinders than is OEM...in case you want to change clip ons. It's a very tight fit otherwise. I suppose you could tweak your front suspension (different springs for optimal performance when loaded) or just new adjustable front forks. Likewise for rear shock (in addition the the shim mod). There's also farkles to make long rides more enjoyable...like a workable cruise control (RXX has one that may still be available online somewhere).
I think you may have missed the point. Its not about what I need - it's about what would the ultimate build be?
My current XX is Josh's old Blue one. It has a TBR exhaust of some flavor, VFR bars and Buell pegs. Aftermarket wheels for bling not performance - RComponents I believe. 40k miles. HID lights cut they are cheap and clunky - maybe need redone.
Suspension would be my first direction - either a swap to ZX or some other front end, maybe a full Ohlins swap over if it can be found, and for sure a shock out back. Aftermarket wheels for weight would be great - not carbon fiber though, too much hassel. Marvic's or something maybe.
Engine, maybe 2mm bore, Falicon knife-edge crank. Back-cut the gears and freshen everything up. See if the head can be flowed better and 5-angle the valves. Cams? I still want very linear streetable power.. I've got an Akrapovic full-Ti that has been following me around uninstalled. Sort of programmer to dial it all in..

Search XRdracer (Howie). His XX was by far the trickest, most expensively modded that I've ever seen. Best example of a no holds barred, money no object everything top of the line XX you'll find, lots of ideas to be had there.
He sold it, I think Stan might be the one who bought it.
Me personally, I'd spend a lot on brakes, suspension and weight reduction. Don't know that I could get to 15k without going with a full Ohlins front end w/custom triples, Brembos, etc. Motor is good enough without internal mods, IMO.
Yeah, I believe this is the red one I was referring to. I saw it when it went up for sale and always wished I'd bought it. I'm thinking of building something like this - in blue.
-
I've been giving a lot of thought to my bikes. When my employment situation settles back down (soon I hope) I'm either going to purchase a new bike, or make a huge investment in upgrading the XX. I have some thoughts on a new bike - but for the sake of this thread, what would you do if you had something like a $15k upgrade budget for my 2000 XX?
This all supposes I cant buy a certain red XX in Florida
Only rules are - must remain street-able and usable for sport-touring. Emphasis on the sport. Lets not talk about luggage - I've got most all of that already. Any mod suggested should be realistically available.
What's the best suspension/brake/wheel mods? Big bore engine? Fuel inection mods? Weight saving mods? Badass tail tidy mods? What is really out there and has been/can be done.
Thoughts?
