shaun_1990 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hey everyone this may turn out to be some form of project thread, however at the moment it's just a brief update for anybody interested I got my xj a few months ago and it is my first big bike, rides superb and would recommend the bike to anyone, I decided to do a few little bits & today I have just finished what I want to do for now, no full bike pictures I'm sorry to say just the parts in place. I have fitted Evo tech tail tidy ermax rear huger Scorpion rear carbon can And some rim tape which in my own opinion makes a massive difference Here's a couple of pics that I have now Sorry to say I thought I had more pictures, soon as we get some nice weather back I will be out with the camera and enjoying the bike, any comments welcome (bad or good) Thanks for looking Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy xs Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Nice job Shaun your a bit of a tease only showing us a bit of your bike, but lucky to get anything done outside this time of year, its the little things that make your bike stand out and make it more individual whats next ?

shaun_1990 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Always been thought not to give to much away in the beginning Tommy. Next on my hitlist will be the brake lines, should hopefully get them in the next couple of months, yeah the weather has been a battle and my hands wanted to give up in the cold haha. That's what I want, just to stand out a tiny bit & making it my own. Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't understand rim tape, but that is just my view. The changes really tidy up the rear and gives the bike a very clean, rear, look. Like the Scorpion end can very much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun_1990 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just adds abit of colour to the mass of black that is on the wheel, thank you . I was in two minds if it looked right or not Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe.b Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Got an xj myself . What did you pay for the rear hugger? Mine already has a tail tidy and a couple of other bits..agree on the wheel tape,I've got white on mine(on white bike) for a few quid it really sets the bike off. May change the indicators and get the belly pan and headlight cowling colour matched as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Scorpion end can very much . see what you mean about the wheel tape, sort of distracts from the stealth look, be a bit like adding go faster stripes but to each there own as they say! would be boring if we all liked the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May change the indicators and get the belly pan and headlight cowling colour matched as well I can't remember the exact price but was over £100 I'll try to find the invoice tomorrow night and get back to you with where it was from also Yeah the can made a nice bit of difference however not as much as I was expecting (still getting that carbon build up) once that is done should have a rasp to her, I'll try to get a video (the better half got me a go pro yet to find the right settings to use it) in the better weather (fair weather rider) for the time being I'm sorry to say (don't fancy 10 hour shifts soaking haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe.b Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Is that an led rear light on it(the one with integrated indicators?) Was looking at one of those and but the original on as well which aren't led's. Do you know if that's an issue with the indicators flash rate??

shaun_1990 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 It's not an actual led it just looks like it, some form of cover over the bulb, the previous owner has had some form of dodgy idea and put in some more earth cable but after following it & ripping it out it did nothing haha. Hope this helps Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
