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are simple, and cheap, I buy these older bikes for a couple hundred, mechanically great with low miles, just an outdated look, drop em, solo seat, modify fenders, and change out handlebars to give these bikes a cooler styling.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.
