XS Update

I ordered some parts for the XS, they should be the last parts I need besides tires. I think the best I can mention are the turn signals, I had wanted to get Lucas replicas, but I was already ordering the chain tool from Z1, so I figured I might as well get the signals from them too. I got ones designed for a Honda CB500. By all rights the design is pretty close to the Lucas signals, and they should be plug and play. I also should be able to use the mounting stocks I already have, which will fit the frame mounts I already have.


Besides the chain tool I also ordered a new tach and speedo cable as the ones on there are pretty much shot, the speedo cable IS shot. I also bought some fuel line of a couple different sizes. I found my dremal tool so I'm going to cut out enough of the air box so that I can mount some pod air filters in there.

Going to cancel the MAC exhaust. That money will be better served as a tire machine and tires.

I also have a line on an OLD Vetter fairing, not sure at the cost yet, but the woman I am talking to has a ton of them, a barn full, and this one has probably never been mounted on any bike. A raw fairing as she called it. She's unsure as to exactly what model it is, but it Is a Phantom, and here are two examples of Phantom fairings from when they were new:

It would provide me with the wind protection I want, as well as weather protection. It is a Vetter fairing that predates the Windjammer, but the design is such that you can have regular handlbars and will be able to move them to full lock in either direction. I figure spray it black, and I'm golden, maybe pin stripe it.

I'm in a hellish amount of pain right now, it struck pretty sudden, its traveling through my right shoulder and up into my jaw and also into my rib cage. If I didn't know better I'd think I was having a heart attack. So this is where I stop, I'll leave you with a song.
