Are you getting "into our face?" Typical lawyer. Not even frame plugs? A hugger? Fender extender?

I found out that consumables on the XX can include a complete set of plastics, speedometer, tank, forks...you get the picture.

Otherwise, all you have to do is change the oil, filters, and tires.

Yes, damn those rubber straps. I think that's one of the few things that survived on mine.

Good on you for representing. You've got to love the 'Bird to throw that kind of dough at it.

OMG, there's one born every day. LOL. Anyone have the web site of that company in Norway, Sweden, somewhere over there, that makes turbos, bikes, cars, snowmobiles? I'd like to add a turbo but not Hahn.

xx2wheelin · 09-12-2008, 8:35 PM

call up velocity they can make you a kit.....if you wanted something more simple yet more reliable then hahn's basic kits, look into efr.

I have spent between $1,000.00 & $2,000.00 on mine since I owned it and the previous owner spent over a grand at least with all the mods he did.
The suspension is modded front & rear for a heavier rider, he put on a tire hugger fender, mirror extenders & big tinted wind screen.
I put a Corbin solo seat, a new front fender and a full titanium Akrapovic with a Power Commander.
I have an undertail all painted up and ready for install to lose that clusterf u c k in the back.
Then it is all about losing the standard forks for some USD forks with radial brakes but, I have to sell one of my other bikes before I am allowed to start on that endeavor.

Bone stock except for lowering link and Heli bars, and they were on the bike when I bought it. I still have the reflectors for Pete's sake! Must be time to spend some of my kids' inheritance.

The only thing left for me is to source out a Turbo kit but one that will allow my Bird to remain streetable. I'll be happy with 200 rwhp or so. Just a little something that kicks in around 6 or 7 grand to shut down, and keep down, any smart ass exotics roaming my neck of the woods.
