Tidy. XS motors all seem a bugger to get in the frame.

Wasn't the worst one, but they're so ruddy heavy it's just absolutely awkward

Managed to only put one small scuff in the powder coating on my frame when we fitted mine, but did nearly break Big Darren's finger.

Not really been happy with how the tank sits (really high) so we took the tunnel out of it and chopped the front of the tank right out. Sits a lot better / lower now. Need to get it back on it's wheels to see it's ok before we weld one back in  XS No 3  XS No 3 |

Put it back on it's wheels to see how the tank sits and real happy with it. Also changed the bars for some more swept back ones which feel like I can get my hooligan on a bit better.  XS No 3  XS No 3 Also got the last frame brace tacked in. Next jobs are finish off the torque arm, pop a tunnel in the tank and figure out some form of guard and seat. Will get ignored a bit now though as we're off to paris next week |

I like that lower more compact style on the tank, it gives the bike a better look than before when it was higher.

There's definitely "something" about a shiny, newly spoked, wheel, that even the most delicate of "Mags" has trouble matching, don't yer think?  ...Morrag |
