Friend of mine uses one on his 'priller Futura and loves it.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.....fished in!!!!!!! fucker

+1 on the half can. http://www.seafoamsales.com/buy.htm

Tire pressure??? Also - Raising the rear changes the front rake. I've found my XX is more prone to front end shimmy when loaded after I extended the rear shock length (Wilburs). The 6mm washer trick probably does the same thing.

I use a tie-down to strap the bike to the rear stand and then use a floor jack under the oil pan w/ a small piece of plywood between the jack and the bike. Very stable setup, I can "mongo" the bike and not worry about it tipping.

Couldn't get 2.5 wt. in time for Hookers so I put in 3wt. and it works fine.

Word of caution when staking the rivets..... It takes suprisingly little pressure to split the rivet when staking it. ..... Don't ask how I know this :roll:

Wow!!! Those are some FAT Mains for an XX with no other work :shock: You're not running too rich WFO?

Return them an buy a set of VFR bars.

Yeah, you got mounted alright :roll:

Isn't it 2.5mm? :roll:

DOH!!! :shock: No wonder my front end kept diving. I'm probably running 10-15mm low :roll: That's what happens when you're rushing to get to HookersXX I suppose

+1 Those guys ROCK!!!!! They will go out of their way for you EVERY TIME!!!!!!!

I you had the tank off double check the fuel line/vent plumbing. It's a common mistake that will stop a XX in it's tracks. (don't ask me how I know this )

Oh great...Another gun nut :roll:

Use the cheesy spark plug wrench in the XX's tool kit. Works like a champ.

Never got the corners to sit right on my MagKnight - sent it back and bought a tankslapper set for 1/3 the price. Couldn't be happier.

I'd replace it. The last thing you want to be doing on the Blue Ridge Parkway is looking for a bike shop with a replacement tire in stock. don't ask me how I know this :roll: Peace of mind is worth the $30+ dollars of tread. You can always hang onto the old tire for emergencies.

Get the Glock!!!!! :wink:

Hey man your timing stinks!!! :roll: http://www.superblackbird.com/Wilbers/

Motion-Pro makes a small auxillary tank you can hang over the bike like an IV - works great!!! I've synced the XX carbs 3 times and every time all 4 cylinders were within 1/4" of each other on the gauge before starting. If you have time and want to tinker, sync the carbs. But you probably don't need to.

Buy 1 bulb/ballast for the low beam. Hella, Bosch, Phillips - they're all good. Spend the extra money now on quality components and you won't be riding home in the dark someday :shock: HID high beam is overkill on the bird and you can't flash-to-pass with it. I used 3M VHB tape and mounted the ballast inside my fairing. Close enough for the pigtail, never had a heat issue with the ballast.

They work just as well under the windscreen mounted to the top of the instruments. Signal will travel right through your LP speedscreen. FWIW
