It's a used California model tank, bought it on ADV. Plastics are new ebay RTech and only cost me 79$! Headlight is a Polisport, RMATV. I like its shape but I bought it by mistake. It's only a 30 watt incandescent, I stuck a halogen 40 watt bulb in it. I have a cheap LED bulb to try too.
But I want a XTrainer.

Well, it all looks good on there. It appears like a totally different bike. All the mechanical stuff working well?
Yes,
I did the JD carb kit and 3x3 air box mod. All LED turns and tail light. Removed the vacuum petcock- long story on that issue. Just did an oil change including the "hidden" screen. I'm amazed that it was clean. Since maintenance was lacking on this bike. But PO must have done oil changes.
I probably would not have done the carb and air box mods if I hadn't found the air boot torn. Since I had to pull sub frame and air box to change air boot I played
. Carb did need the cleaning too. Way to expensive, 2 carb kits one for gaskets and one for the right jet sizes. And a TT member sent me orings because kits have inferior ones.
I did a lot of shopping for barkbusters. I didn't want to shorten my levers. Those balls have a purpose. But I still had a lever bar conflict. So I decided to try MZS shorty levers. Cheap clones, of ASV but I like them so far - 30-40 miles
. I had concerns with my hand issues that I'd lack strength or have pains. But seems to be a non-issue.
I am thinking of 15/47 gearing. But I'll loose road speed.
