I like the ammo can pannier.

Ammo cans are $25- at Princess Auto when on sale. I had the Givi bags off my Suzuki on at first. Still have to mount some rear flashers. Later I will post a front shot that will show the leg guards. The purple parts I sanded, sprayed with primer and painted with a brush.
I cut off the front piece only of the air filter box, then used foam filters. The battery is in the original place. I covered the seat, as that is my trade, that I do not work at. The mounts for the ammo cases and rear box are made from 1 inch flat aluminum, and 1 1/2 angle aluminum. Biggest issue was with jetting. I must have had the carbs off at least 12 times. Tried different final drive ratios and am a little taller than some of the other guys. 5600 revs at 60, instead of 6000. The motor is a five speed from a Maxim. I might open up the original 6 speed motor some day.
Might be in Victoria soon to get parts for my XS11.

Today I started rough grinding on my rearsets and RichieB came by and finished the seatpan pattern he's been making for me. Really looking forward to seeing the finish result!

Went out & lit the pig up this Am. Started with No choke & little coaxing from the starter. Getting pumped for a short but satisfying ride Saturday. Hop around some of the small east central Mn lakes to scope them out for fishing this year. Numerous dirt roads to the public landings. Just hope I can keep the rubber down with street tires.

Worked on syncing carbs yesterday. One side is way stronger than the other. Sucks up the ATF before I can adjust it. A friend is coming over this am to run the kill switch while I adjust.

get a solid bench sync first, i used a wire from a brass brush to get both side relatively close. Never came close sucking anything in
Got the 82 and the 80 out for a spring shake down. The 82 runs awesome!!! But I did notice the petcock has a drip
I said screw it and ordered a non-vacuum petcock for it 
I don't want to screw with it 
The 80 runs great with the uni's and the different carbs. I went with a set of 80 carbs instead of the xs360 set I run for the last two years as these are much lighter. 137.5 mains, stock needles and needle jets, plastic floats and 42.5 pilots. I did have to turn the idle mix screws out 4 turns. At some point I will go to a 45 pilot. But it runs great The repacked muffler sound great. The bike only weighs 292 lbs and feels like a dirt bike on the road I also matched the intake ports to the intake manifolds for better flow on the 82. I will do this on the 80 when I have the carbs off the next time. It feels like it has a lot better pull.
