What did you do with your XS today?

[GraysonFleming]

Painted the mainframe, did some detailing. Getting ready to reaping the tank and panels, and my MAC 2-1 exhaust system just arrived today!!! Also, did more polishing. Worked my way from 400-1000 grit dry papers in increments of 200, then polished with Mother aluminum mag polish, wow! Looks like new, can't complain! Lol

I'm be scared to get that thing dirty! It's super clean!

... it won't come loose. Welding a nut on is the next step, I guess.

Ordered a MAC 2in1 muffler from powersportsuperstore.com $235.88
For that price I got rear brakes for another $21.25 ebc516. I agree with Dave, its time to get the little stuff done.

Bought a couple torque ratchets on sale at Princess Auto. One is inch/lbs, the other is ft./lbs.

Got the mac 2-1 exhaust installed on my 83 maxim 400. Looks great, and fits perfect!! Definitely worth it

 

[bcware]

A new exhaust is sort of required now that you've cleaned it up so much! Nice!

 

[GraysonFleming]

Thanks bcware!! It's my first bike, and it's mechanically solid, so I wanted to clean her up a little! I just finished building myself an 89 jeep yj last year, ground up, blue/camel two tone paint. and I've gone through designing and selling gas powered bikes! Now that i have the time, I'm really glad to take on a motorcycle project! Not bad for a 17 year old lol. And yes, it's a bicycle with an engine on...simplest form of a motorcycle I guess

Not bad at all!
Any chance you would be willing to tutor my 27 year old?

PS - Love your bike and what you've done to it.
. . . . Excellent choice(s) - especially the colour!

 

[GraysonFleming]

Haha yeah, just give him a bit of ambition for these awesome bikes!

And thank you!! I think it will look good when it's done, just in the stages of sanding and prepping the body parts. Decided on a metallic cherry red with gold accent

Yeah, I got the exact set. The filter bolt is so rounded that the 12mm socket just spins, and there is no 11mm socket. Thanks though.

Try a small pipe wrench, or if that doesn't work, weld a nut to the bolt
