Looks like the 1100 I have......plenty of room but the oil does drain down the pipes :D

Looks good though and the price didn't seem that bad.
 
Ya the oil will probably drain on the pipes carb clean when the oil change done.

Yeah I can't complain about the price too much but it doesn't look all that hot up close.
 
The wells are halfway decent it's mostly the fitment.
I'm kind of anal but if you noticed that header coming down the filler pieces of different lengths if you hold the header up as one unit the Y is not perfect.
 
I see that but did it need to be that way to make it work? Is the exhaust perfectly in the center of the bike?

I am anal also on things but sometimes just have to let it go.
 
Did it dry ok without the heat? Seem to be holding up ?
From what I understand the baking only helps with the Curing. Hard to say if its holding up it's just sitting there in a frame I guess time will tell.

From the instructions they don't say you have to bake it and if you do it's only at 200°
 
Help! I'm so lost right now I need to get this bike done it's been two years now.

Ok almost done the wiring but I'm not 100% sure I have the last 3 wires right the big question is the red wire with the Male end.

The red wire with the extra shielding I believe is the main power wire for the chassis. Should go to the fuse box from battery +. On my bike theres an extra wire bullet style connector leading off of the short + battery wire that you have marked in your photo. Yours seems to be wired differently from the factory or maybe youre missing a piece?

Thank for posting I have an other XS but it's a hour ride from my house and it's cold as hell out.
I will have to take a trip when it gets warmer out.
