Well ive had the XBS for couple weeks, put on 600 miles so far in 3 rides.
Its the weirdest feeling sitting up, like being on dirt bike.
I haven't ridden a bike without extreme lean in 18+ years.
Coming from racing TLR`s in WMRRA, to just riding them for past 7 years its starting to feel ok. I did get some after market handlebars that'll put me closer to Firebolt, i just need to put them on. Sound and Torque with racing pipe and open airbox is good in the city. The only thing over the TL so far is the feel of weight. It doesn't feel like a pig, doesn't handle like a pig, it turns fast.
Let me know if you want them, they are sitting in my garage. They didn't sell when i parted the bike and never posted them back up. I even have a quart of house of kolors clear to throw in with the tail if you wanted to sand and clear for carbon look.
Oh and dont forget to post up in the new riders section of PNW with pics of bike.
