1) Are there Ohlins forks available for the XX? (I assume Yes?) 2) If #1 is Yes, does anyone here have them installed? Impressions?

Yeah, it should help with that a lot.

You can get a set of Handy Front/Rear stands for $99: http://www.handyindustries.com/standpackages.asp Those motorcycle lifts look as if you'd need to remove plastic, and even then, you'd be resting most of the weight of the bike on the exhaust.

If you plan on doing your own wheel removal a lot, invest in front and rear stands. I do the same thing (take only my wheels to the dealer to have tires installed) because I don't trust them with my bike. It'll end up scratched I'm sure.

...getting it back on can be tricky though.... (easier with an extra set of hands)

Isn't that what he said? :???:

I responded to your post on the other site you posted it.

Wow. A girl that COMPLAINED about the vibes of a v-twin? Amazing. Maybe she just had a headache...?

Yeah, the stock SS pipes get hot and stay hot forever. If I didn't like the stealth sound so much, I'd replace em with Ti or CF.

Even thru leather?

I ordered one and it should be here today. I'll see how it does. Right now I'm using a "Mirror Mount" Base installed onto one of my clip-on pinch bolts, and using 2 short arms and a connector to wrap it around to where I want it.

Mine was more like 11% if I remember correctly, but it seems that others have been lower than that. I can confirm my settings tonight as well. Mine is now almost dead-on as compared to my GPS.

Yeah, it's in there. But it seems like there are two connectors that it will fit, and one of them will cause you to blow a fuse if you connect it up and turn on the ignition. (Don't ask how I know this.)

I don't remember off hand, but I can take a picture of it tonight to show you.

I went with Red Fox (www.red-fox.com), painted to match. I liked it because it has the cut-out to match the front fender. Pics: http://www.cbrxx.org/gallery/misc/hugger1 http://www.cbrxx.org/gallery/misc/hugger2 http://www.cbrxx.org/gallery/misc/hugger3 http://www.cbrxx.org/gallery/misc/hugger4

It works. Just not listed...

Yeah, I saw that, but I prefer not to use illegal copies of copyrighted stuff. I have the service manual at home, just didn't have it handy. (And no, let's not turn this into an ethics discussion please. )

I checked my truck speedometer and it's pretty much dead-on with the GPS. I was amazed.

Yep, I've had 2 of Jim's boxes on 2 different Honda's and they've been great. My XX was off about 12% if I remember correctly. (With stock gearing) But yes, they do vary a bit.

Thanks. Same as the 929 I think.

I don't have my bike or my service manual handy. What size socket is needed for the front axle bolt? Thanks

No, those that Warchild has screw into the stock bar weights. You'll probably want to keep those internal bar weights because they cut down on the vibration of the bars.

Nope, but there can be! I added these: http://www.powerletproducts.com/

I had one on my 929 and I liked the sound. Not too obtrusive at low RPMs, but sounded good at the higher ones.

Here's a set of Erion slip-ons for cheap: (Even the "Buy It Now" price is a good one, compared to what I've seen around.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2416591350
