    Valves

    The aftermarket shims like Hotcams are readily available from cycle supplies online. Ebay as well, maybe even Amazon.
  3. I caught hell the last time I stripped an XX skeleton and didn't advertise, so here I am. Stripping a 1999 XX skeleton, frame fittings, swingarm, brales. ETC are available, not much else from this one. If you have any needs or wants, speech up.
  4. I think the premise is fair. He's advertising it on an XX forum for a friend who just wants it gone and doesn't really know how to go about it. He's not interested in the forum for any other reason, hence his email. He's done his due diligence to his friend and XX people might get a nice bike. Now, given the circumstances, the title situation may well be a concern.

  6. There's what appears to be a bone stock (except for pricey slip ons), pristine XX potentially for sale listed on the other XX site. Low 20's mileage, Florida location, 5k-ish price. Just a heads up.
  7. I think it's an excellent ad. The only thing I might suggest is a short initial Cliff Note first paragraph for those with short attention spans (those folks have money too). I think that would sell in about a day around here.
  8. Here's what I would do if I just wanted to run a couple wires. *Remove the seat. *Remove the two bolts holding down the rear of the tank. *Pop the trim panels away from the tank in the rear. *Lift the rear of the tank an inch or two. It might be helpful to release the wiring to the tank from the clip on the left side of the tank mount. *Gently run a stiff wire from the rear to the front of the tank to grab and pull your more flexible wiring through. It's hot under there, be sure it is adequately insulated. *Put it back together. For the record, I rarely remove a tank. For almost any need, the tank can be removed from its mounts and rotated up in the front, then over to rest on its top (think backflip) with adequate padding. As I recall, it's helpful to disconnect the fuel pump and sending unit wiring and pull one or two vacuum hoses...nothing more. If you have some way or someone to support the tank upright, even that is unnecessary. No need to disconnect fuel lines or anything else.

    Oil ?

    As posted..........bike level, dipstick not screwed in. Oil leaks on the left side of the bike are that would spray to your shoe are usually a stator cover leak, either from the cover itself or from the grommet where the wires pass through, or from the shift shaft seal. Clean everything and then check it every time you ride to pinpoint the spot. If you can't find it, there are UV dies you can put in the oil to find the culprit.
  10. I have no idea. Hid lights are all accessory add-ons, and each installation is different, but the driver has to be connected to the bike's electrical system somehow, and those noon-factory connections are the ones that are typically poorer than most.
  11. I assume you didn't put projector beams in the headlight, so it would be a standard H7 HID bulb at the appropriate color rating. Swap the connectors to make sure it's the bulb that's given up, it's not uncommon for ballasts to go bad. And of course, check the connections because with the higher current and voltage that goes through the HID, connections can oxidize or burn if there's an air gap anywhere.
  12. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. What happened? Changing a screen is usually not a daunting task.
  14. I thought I'd throw this out there, you never know what you'll find. A friend needs a silver upper cowl, and I'm beating the bushes for him. If you've heard of anything, please let me know.
  15. Yes, that's what it's for, and as far as I know, it doesn't have a part number.
  16. Found some references to that situation in forums. PM me your paypal, please.
  17. Cant figure out if this will give me access to all the video controls on my 10c, which is a pia to control. Might as well give it a shot. PayPal?
  18. They're all nice (well, almost all). The only pic of a ridden bike, I believe is one of ours, taken at Deals Gap. #4 with magenta and gold striping is simply gorgeous at that distance. Lotsa work. It looks as though the exhaust in front of the muffler is black chrome. Can't call it a midpipe because its part of the exhaust can.
  19. Bill, buy this one. Auction ends by tomorrow morning. It's free shipping and the guy is decent, i've bought from him before. I was thinking $50 for a beater seat and it would cost $30 to ship it to you because I'm not a business and pay through the nose when I take a box to the counter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/312474689378?hash=item48c0f15f62%3Ag%3AHsMAAOSw0dFcZHA~&LH_ItemCondition=4
