Let me know when your valve adjustment takes less than 10 mins. Adjustment, not just a check.

Drewpy, are you doing the iron butt this weekend with us?

There is no adjustment or check. So I'm letting you know that they take less than 10 minutes. Zero minutes actually. Move along.

Took a look at a clean XB12S and CityX. I want either. Damn my schooling for draining my funds.

Ahh hydraulic. Interesting. You do have the timing and the primary chain in the engine case that requires inspection/adjustment.

Love the Lightning. I'd trade my XBR straight up for a comparable XBS.

Why not just do a conversion on yours? That way you keep your bike and can swap between the front look you want.
