Thanks, they weren't a handsome bike in standard trim  ::)


The pipe is as quiet as , I resisted putting a straight through baffle in it, It will pass a DB test no worries.

a mate brought a new 250 - red one when they first came out... had a shocking tank slapping wheel wobble at 100km's on the road. Wheel balanced, tyre checked... nothing fixed it.

I took it to the local quarry and flogged it around for 20 mins and broke the front guard off on a jump, blew a fork seal, the chain came off and I fell of  in a corner and busted the brake lever.
ol mate wasnt happy about his new beut xl...

He was very happy about the broken front guard....it was causing the wobble.... a preston petty sorted it nicely

NOS XL Honda front guard I've fitted should cure any of that wheel wobble then  ;)
         However several encouraging stubbies may bring it back a bit   :-\
