    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    I dont know how to do pictures very well on here, but you can see my bike on facebook if you search through my mobile photos. Justin Borja search email [email protected]. I have been riding my short tail for a few months now, and I love it. I got on a regular ss the other day and it felt...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    Okay, here we go. 2006 xb12 ss with s tail and straight pipe exhaust. I have no idea why the pictures are little, then big, then sideways. If I only knew computers like I do cars and bikes! This picture shows the relocated shock reservoir with a 11 5/8" ctc hose. The seat latches down perfect...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    It helps alot to have a shop lengthen the rear shock resivior hose to mount it where it belongs on the s tail. The seat will latch fine with no need to alter tabs or latch position and the spacing in perfect at the airbox cover. I had mine done 11 5/8" center to center. if anybody wants pics...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    Here is my work in progress spacers at the bottom of subframe create clearance for rear shock But now I got an ungly space/gap. Thinking of sheet metal "cover" that would slide over side rail attached by and only showing upper bolt I will post more when as I complete more. I did...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    I have a favor to ask any "S" owners. Can any of you measure the rear shock reservior hose from center to center of the banjos? The ss bikes have a short hose that puts the reservior on top of the wire harness when converting to a short tail and is too cramped for long term. I can assume...

    Delta, do you think the bike is not getting enough fuel at high rpms? I don't know jack about mapping and programming, but any info helps.

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    quote]So using spacers I'm still waiting on a few little details, (rear master reservior, seat lacth cable) then tear down and paint. When I reassemble I will document my changes with pics and post. Yes, the spacers worked perfect and I used steel stock that makes up the difference in the gap...

    Amber wheel trade?

    I will post pics tonight or tommorow. My tires are shot, so I'm willing to trade+cash to make it even as long as its reasonable if you have new or good tires. I'm thinking I'm willing to drive up to the Oreagon borderish as far as distance.

    Amber wheel trade?

    Amber wheel trade?

    I have Amber wheels on my 12ss and its time to get some new tires, but I want black wheels. If anyone is up for a trade let me know. And, how the hell does trading work on here? Do I just send my shit UPS hoping another person sends theirs? I can just see myself now, sittin on my bike with no...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    Sorry I didn't post pics on "Monday" waited 5 weeks to get trunk pan from ASB. Went ahead with some home made spacers. Actually, not that difficult once you get the correct parts. I don't know what you guys used, but here is my parts list for an s tail conversion. Hope it helps anyone doing...

    Exhaust-Aircraft Style!!! read please

    I am 1/4 Mexican and am glad you guys see the humor. I still think a "true" dual exhaust would look good. Now after riding for awhile I have noticed a change in the power curve, XB12ss, stock with straight pipe, good low end, mid, but then drops off top end. Strange right? I think I may have...

    Wheelies

    I think there is something wrong, missing, not tightened properly on your bike. I have beat the living snot out of my front end and replaced about half a dozen fork seals without ever tightening the head.

    Wheelies

    upthemaiden, My feet have come off the pegs forwards from putting the front end down too hard when missing a gear. Hell, maybe I'm too fat, I don't know.

    Wheelies

    Put your butt a couple inches back from normal. Accelerate in 1st to 3000-3500 rpm, romp the go stick and blip the clutch. It will wheelie. Don't look left or right in the beginning and don't worry if all you see is handlebars and airbox. It takes a shit load of effort to loop it out. My...

    S tail on a Ss = XB12S1/2

    I started my S conversion last night, got the bike torn down and kickin around the idea of JB welding some aluminum bolts into upper frame holes, cutting off smooth, drill and tap where I need to be. Has anyone tried this? It looks like there is enough meat on the frame to relocate the hole a...
