    An XS Odyssey and props to MadMike!

    Thanks guys. It's been a long trip getting to where she is now. As for better, well, everyone would view that a little different I'm sure. For my stable she fits the bill as a fun ride without having to worry about all the weight and girth of the FJR.

    An XS Odyssey and props to MadMike!

    It's been awhile since I've updated this thread. I haven't been riding much because of personal and health issues, not to mention the weather, so I've not been on this forum much of late. I did manage to get the XS into the XS11 forum calender for 2010 tho :clapping: so I thought I'd toss a...

    JB takes the CBR 1000RR out for a spin

    Hell Hans, you barely got into the power at 7k. Take it out and flog it to redline, then you'll either crap your pants and give up riding, or go buy one :D

    Highway to the Sun

    I've done Going To The Sun Highway from both directions on different occasions on the FJR. Last time I was there, there was a ton of road construction. Even with the construction, I think I'd rather be heading up hill rather than down hill. You use your brakes a lot less going up :P Regardless...

    heated grips=stiffer throttle?

    Hell, just take the bike back and tell THEM to fix it! Then do all your future work yourself B)

    heated grips=stiffer throttle?

    There shouldn't be a difference between standard grips and heated grips. I'd wager your grips are dragging on the housing a bit. If thats the case, you might be able to just pull it back a bit and have normal throttle return again.

    Brake master cylinder & lever

    Anyone have a stock master cylinder and lever hanging around? One of the rigs going to the bone yard maybe? I'm thinking I could use it on the XS to try and achieve a little more front brake feel. The stock master cylinder on the XS is lacking big time. That and I think the adjustable levers on...

    MotoPort Group Buy
