    What did you do with your XS today?

    I appreciate the insight. The inside of the manifold just after the carb adapter is set to run direct into the right cylinder. It's kinda hard to describe without seeing the inside of the manifold. But it will not have to make a turn so-to-speak in order to get to the right cylinder. Why would...

    Shifter Doesn't Clear Exhaust & Engine

    use a box end wrench big enough to fit over the shifter and pry it out. very easy to do, had to do mine a few times after the kickstand didn't do it's job.

    Ignition Switch in side covers?

    I agree. I welded a tab just under the seat on my old one and hooked up a pull switch for the headlights and a push button start. Worked perfect and you couldn't see them.

    How can i lower my rear end without sacrificing the struts

    Depending on your fabrication experience, you can drop the seat down and relocate the shocks. Along with dropping the front this will get you at about 3-4" frame clearance ride height. But i can tell you that you won't be stretching out. Being 6'2 and wanting to lower it you might be better off...

    Sold my bike...

    Ha, I went on the highway one time with the 400 and never again. That's the reason I wanted something bigger. I have no desire to go that fast on 2 wheels. Honestly, I really didn't put all that much into that bike. I went from bone stock to what it looks like in the pics in about 3 days. The...
