Hi,
The air box has been modified to draw air from the front of the seat.
The bike has a seat lock which can be used to secure a helmet.
The pilot and main Jets were smaller and I've changed them now.

Hi Donnybach,

Yes, it seems fine. Certainly a little cooler. I don't ride it hard though and I have no other xts to compare with. The Plug is a nice colour, accelerates smoothly, starts well, etc.

Jolyon.

Some nice rare additions on there. I’ve got a riky cross centrestand but someone put the wrong bracket on it so I’ll need to alter it to fit. Like the front light guard/rack.

Thank you. It is useful to have. I'm replacing the lower link bushes today so I'm glad I've got a centrestand.
