Awesome!

Have the decals been removed, and is this the factory paint? I saw it on CL. There wasn't much of a description & the pics were kinda crappy. I figured it had been dumped and repainted.

Personally, I don't think it's wise to use a gun a threat. For me, It's a weapon of last resort. No one should know I am carrying. If I ever have to draw/show a weapon it would be because it's the only remaining option to extract myself from a given situation.

If you do your own maintenance and you're not a hack, you need a torque wrench I approve this message.

Drop the rear preload a click. It'll slow the steering and calm down your shaky head.

Make time.

I'll buy another XB one of these days. Won't be this year though. Keep it for a couple years until I'm ready.

This thread makes me appreciate belt drive.

There are way more dirty cops than anyone wants to admit.

Yep. Until they initiate a salary cap, I am boycotting baseball. 2010 Yankees Payroll is over 206 million 2010 Pirates Payroll is under 35 million It's ridiculous to watch teams develop talent that they can't afford to sign (C.C.). Only 5-6 large market teams have a ligitimate shot at signing the best talent and competing at the highest level. It's just not worth watching anymore.

If there really are aliens, they are going to conquer us sooo easily.

+1 part it or sell it as is for parts. There is really no sure fire to have a new title issued. You can try for a court ordered title, but the process is slow and there is no guarantee.

Depending on year, the belts last from 25k-Lifetime. Belt drive has several advantages over a chain. The only downside is you can't change gearing, as mentioned above. 12k

Pushrods and hydraulic lifters. Good = No Valve adjustments and lots of low end torque. Bad = There are limits to HP and RPM. Overall it a good streetable motor with plenty power for aggressive riding, but it won't set anyone's hair on fire on the track.

Get a shinko if you're trying to save a few bucks.

first Dio now Arnold, this has been a difficult week. If it wasn't for Half Pint Brawlers, I'd be crushed

yes The 60 has a lower profile. It would marginally drop the front end, which reduces rake and trail, and make the steering more sensitive. It could result in a twitchy, less stable front end. I'm not familiar with the 1100xx, so not sure how much it would impact that particular bike.

...and it wouldn't hurt if you were topless.

XBs are quite possibly the lowest maintenance sporty bikes you can buy and very reliable. No valve adjustments, no throttle body sync, maintenance free belt drive, etc. I put over 34k on an 03 XB9S. Maintenance was limited to oil, tires, spark plugs, and brake pads.
