  1. my bike, a 1976 xs 360, runs best with its mufflers off. Unfortunately, I cook at a resort up in NH where I also live and even though the bike is small, it puts out some serious decibels when those mufflers aren't on it and I don't think management appreciates the awesome sounds that this bike can make. I'm hoping to find a pair of slip-ons that will make my bike sound unique and hungry but not quite as loud as a bike with straight pipes while still offering no restriction to the airflow which exists in harmony with the up jetting I did last winter and the pod air filters I replaced those huge boxes with. I tried putting the old mufflers that were on it when I purchased it two years ago back on but the engine gets far too hot with that kind of restriction. Also, its a cafe recreation so I'm trying for something small and discrete that wont disrupt the cafe jive. Any suggestions would be helpful.

  4. SO about two months ago, my bike, a 1976 xs 360, broke down and my battery showed almost no charge. The battery was fairly new, but I didn't rule it out as a possible problem. My friend Jon had told me that the trickle charge that exists via the stator/regulator/rectifier may be out of wack, but that the stator going on a 36 year old bike with 26000 miles on it was unlikely. We replaced the battery with a brand new one which seemingly fixed the problem but all I ended up doing was wasting 50 bucks for a spare battery I didn't need. Does anyone know what would be the most probable reason for that trickle charge to not be occurring. I'm looking for a cheap, easy fix on this one, but The bike IS my only form of transportation for the time, being that I am away from home at school. So, should I look into a new Regulator, a new stator, a new rectifier? Is there something I may be able to clean/ alter to get this problem fixed? PLEASE let me know -stuck at school with tools, but no solution
