lostsoul74 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 just got into bike modding this year, cosmetics are simple, and cheap, I buy these older bikes for a couple hundred, mechanically great with low miles, just an outdated look, drop em, solo seat, modify fenders, and change out handlebars to give these bikes a cooler styling. Just got an xs-1100 yesturday, but my buddy mentioned that I may have problems because it's a shaft drive, my others so far have been chain. I've looked on the net and see plenty of lowered shaft drive bikes, so is it not an issue??? or do I have to do something internal to compensate the change of degree of the shaft. I'll be dropping her about 5 inches right down on the tire and using fender struts. thanks for the help gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Apart from ensuring that the shaft drive line is streight and that the lub filler is at the top, I can't think of anything else apart from standard aliegnment checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
