RRCS's '85 XJ700 Bobber project.

All I know for sure is the info on line on the 85 -86 Models is dodgey at best. Guessing it has something to do with the terriff in place on Jap bikes at the time.

 

Very clean looking scoot, but did you notice that there was an Alien Entity in your left mirror! :roll:
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

Must be one of those black holes ? 8O

 

Does the virago tach read correctly? If it does let me know i have a white faced xtra one

 

Yes, it reads correctly but the red line is 3000 under. helps me "soft pedal" it when I forget haha!

 

Naw... no alien. I didn't have a shirt on. Didn't want my man boobs to distract from bike.

 

thanks for censoring yourself......

 

A couple of pics with my buddys Honda Fury on last weekends ride:

 

Just installed a set of these last night. They sound GREAT!!! Very "throaty" at idle. Then sound like a F1/Champ car at 10,000 rpm!!!

Ill post some pics when I get to work and the sun comes up.

:twisted: 8) :wink:

 

those look great, let us know where you got 'em, price, and how they look!

 

80 bucks plus tax for the set. I got them from a local scooter shop, Battlescooter. They look awsome IMO. Really cleans up the rear section. and look pretty menacing at the angle they sit off of stock collector.

Honestly you can find them cheaper online. I just gave my buddy a shot at them for faster shipping on his dime :lol: .

After a couple of days off trolling the board...I know this question is bound to come up.

No, I didn't have to rejet. they bike runs fine. No bogging or other issues.
I'm gunna do a couple throttle chops later with freshly cleaned spark plugs (like back in the 2T days) and see if there is any evidance if foul tuning. But I'm sure every thing is fine.

 

Here's a couple of crappy cell phone pics:






Probably gunna post a video later sou you can get an idea of sound.

 

If you were to turn them down, you would have the sickest leaf blower known to man! :wink: :wink:
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

Right?!?!?! I'm still in 5th on the freeway right now.... at least the ringing in my ears sounds like I'm still in 5th on the freeway.

Just wanted bike to make a >little< more noise. I got NOISE!

Might be looking into making/getting a baffle to slide in to collector side of cans.

 

Hit a gigantic pot hole on freeway this morning. Got me thinking about how my rear fender mounts and the fact that Harley made it out of scrapped soda cans. Not too confident in it keeping my man parts from being sucked in to the rear tire if I ever went ejector seat status ( Harley shocks are stiff as struts ).

Thinking about installing this sissy bar I whipped up:

 

Good idea, that rear tire would SHRED your nads and anything else that's in close proximity in an instant. It's not a nice visual of what could happen, the sissy bar is a good idea.
Your scooter could become your neuter! 8O

 

Hahaha Maxim-X ... I see what you did there. That's a nice sissy bar for just "whipping" it up and I like the pipes. All around a good build man.

 

Mounted sissy bar. I'm sure it will function fine. Not 100% on the look of it though. Usually takes me a couple days to get used to new stuff on my bike... opinions?

 

hideous

 

Seems like it should be mounted back further.
