I love the way your bike looks, I'm actually jealous lol jk but I love your headlights and the fork brace. awesome bike!
I would tear mine down and repaint it, but I live in the desert and I try to ride offroad more than on the street, It would just get chewed up in a couple years. lmao atleast I don;t have to worry about rust.

Thanks dudes!

Dracus- I'm in the desert too. No rust here either! And I built up a little 250 to rip on in the dirt until I get good, so I don't trash the XL. It's kind of a weird bike and was fun to build, it's here.

The XL has really been fun too. I find that I love working on it... it's addictive. I might like building bikes just about as much as I like riding them.

Cheers,
Christian

The XL is an amazing desert machine, Get in a soft nasty wash and it will leave everything in the dust.

I like mine to show its age too. I get weird looks from the kids on newer motocross bikes when I climb some nasty hill they been attemping all day "what year is that thing??"
