    Actually kinda like the single tail light (you know what they say about opinions though LOL). Time for a rear tire...

    Looks good, I like the white wheels. White wall tires would make it stand out even more. How did you finish the tank and fender? Is it bare metal with clear?

    What is in the beer can?

    bare metal and wax... lots of it... the can other than a prop is holds the breather hose. as opposed to a filter...a rat filter....

    I like the bike a lot. If it was mine though, I'd spin the handlebars up to have the highest positioning. For me that would be more comfortable, but the bike is really really nice.

    Definitely different strokes for different folks. Leaning over like that would destroy my lower back. Also, that tank is crazy cool!

    I agree.... I lean over enough with my sportbike. That's why I'm going with ape hangers on the bobber.

    Those builtwell bars look awesome! I think they would look great on the bobber.

    Sometimes have a hard time "seeing" something :oops: . The builtwell are nice bars, seen 'em on a lot of bikes. Just REALLY like the risers and bars on your scooter now :wink: ...

    Had one on a 305 Honda but that was YEARS ago. Haven't read anything about after market clutches for XJ's. Try checking their website (?)...

    I don't know if they are "performance" or not, but barnett makes clutches for the maxims.

    I just took my extra clubmen that I was intending on getting rid of and flit them up right. They kinda look like the bars you are showing here just with a radius instead of an angle. I think the bars you have will look sick on that bike. I think I wouldn't mind them on mine either.
